Tipping Point
Synopsis
In the rural heartlands, a tribal community embodies heritage through agriculture ritual and craft.
In Mombasa, a young professional works at the intersection of technology and evolving infrastructure, facing constant change.
A school student balances home and classroom life while imagining a future shaped by tradition and opportunity.
Filmed in a 'fly-on-the-wall' style, without narration or talking heads, the film unfolds through observation: the pounding of grain, the rush of traffic, the laughter of children, the silence of ceremony. By weaving these strands together, TIPPING POINT asks a quietly profound question: At this cultural and economic crossroads, what does well-being mean, and is happiness being redefined?
