From a Whisper is a Kenyan drama film written and directed by African Movie Academy Award winner Wanuri Kahiu. The film received 12 nominations and won 5 awards at the African Movie Academy Awards in 2009, including "Best Picture", "Best Original Soundtrack", "Best Director", "Best Original Screenplay" and "AMAA Achievement in Editing". The film also won the "Best Feature Narrative" award at the 2010 Pan African Film &amp; Arts Festival, and was honored with the 2010 &lt;a href="BAFTA"&gt;BAFTA/LA&lt;/a&gt; "Festival Choice Prize". Although the film commemorates the 10th anniversary of the 7 August terrorist bombing in Kenya in 1998, it is not about the terrorist bombing. The movie portrays a realistic story of the aftermath of the bombing, by capturing the lives of the victims and their families who had to pick up the pieces of their lives shredded by the blast.
