This extraordinary position gives us a double pay off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play was performed for over five years throughout the Nairobi slums, reaching over half a million people. The film version was made after repeated requests from partnering schools and clinics for a DVD version of the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
