Guns in the Shadows

As Kenya鈥檚 cost of living rises, so too does violent crime. Reporter Elijah Kanyi investigates the human impact of illegal firearms in Kenya鈥檚 slums and meets violent criminals who reveal how easy it is to get hold of guns and how hard it is to walk away from a life of crime. He also meets criminal-turned-campaigner King Kafu as he tries to convince young men that it is safe to hand in their weapons to a police force with a reputation for extrajudicial killings.
