Kenyan movie Lisilojulikana, otherwise known as The Unknown, has received international recognition for the second time, this time at the just-concluded Picture This… Film Festival in Calgary, Canada. The film won the Special Mentions Award for a drama over 30 minutes and the prestigious Dodie Spittal Award. Film director, editor and co-writer Aggie Nyagari was in Canada to receive the two awards. Based on a true story, Lisilojulikana is about a young girl who suffers from cerebral palsy, a form of brain damage that occurs from complications in childbirth. Previously, the film won the Award for Public Awareness during World Cerebral Palsy Day in October last year.
