Short synopsis of film A film about the MATATU- informal public transport system in Kenya.  We follow the crew of a hip-hoppy mini-bus called DRAMA as it works  one of the busiest commuter routes in Nairobi and gets arrested by  the Buru Buru police over an overdue warrant-of-arrest. The bus is  detained and the crew sidelined in wait till its elusive owner is  found. Shot with no budget by a crew of three, the film is a sort of  ethnographic exploration of the nature of the Kenyan informal public  transport system, but also a commentary on the youth culture associated  with it.
