How do we define ourselves? Kenyan filmmaker Eva Njoki Munyiri's quest to uncover her family's past leads her across the world, from the place of her birth to the home she chose for herself, in search of her identity.

Eva Njoki Munyiri left her birth country of Kenya aged 14. Since then, she has lived in more than three countries as an African migrant. In this "Identity Limbo" Njoki sets out on a search for her roots, specifically to learn about the life of her paternal grandmother, Waithira.

This intimate film follows Njoki on her revealing journey through Germany, Wales and her native Kenya. Along the way, she meets relatives who weave together a tapestry of a family history that will transform her life for ever.

Waithira is an exploration of a woman’s intimate background and its intersections with forgotten Kenyan history, pop culture and the diaspora.
