- On the morning of Tuesday, 15th July, 2025, Euro Film, known for its movie shootings from European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy, camped in Kabarak University.
- In an event mainly involving the school of music and media, they broadcasted two movies. The movies "Lamb" and "BangaRang" were broadcast on the screens.
On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, students at Kabarak University were immersed in a rich learning experience that went far beyond cinematic entertainment. The event offered profound lessons in visual storytelling, ethics in media, and global academic opportunity.
Through the screening of two films—Lamb and Bangarang—students explored how cinema can illuminate real-world issues, evoke empathy, and spark meaningful dialogue. They gained insight into journalism’s role in shaping public perception and saw how art intersects with advocacy.
The films introduced themes such as grief, folklore, motherhood, tribalism, police brutality, and youth disenfranchisement—prompting reflection on both cultural representation and societal challenges.
Academically, the event served as a springboard into global education. Students learned about the Erasmus+ program under the European Union, which offers fully funded master’s degrees and short-term study exchanges across Europe.
They also received guidance from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) on study opportunities in Germany. These sessions emphasized that international education is both accessible and transformative—expanding career prospects and cultural awareness.

Dr. Michael Ndonye, dean of the School of Music and Media, encouraged students to seize these opportunities, describing them as a gateway to professional growth and global engagement.
The backdrop to these lessons was the visit by Euro Film, a European production company renowned for works from Germany, France, and Italy.
Hosted in partnership with the School of Music and Media, the event featured Lamb—a surreal Icelandic tale about a childless couple raising a hybrid creature—and Bangarang, a Kenyan drama rooted in post-election violence, centered on the wrongful accusation of Otile, a boda-boda rider.
While students initially expected a day of film entertainment, they walked away with new perspective, purpose, and motivation. The experience became a masterclass in creativity, justice, and the pursuit of academic excellence.
