Friends and former colleagues of Father John Anthony Kaiser, from the Mill hill missionaries, are not pleased with the just premiered rugged priest film as they claim it was a bit exaggerated. The missionaries felt that the film director should have at least followed the exact Kaiser lifestyle.
Father John Kaiser is the US priest who died under mysterious accounts ten years ago after he testified in the Akiwumi Commission in 1998; a commission set up by the then President Daniel Arap Moi and the case surrounding the circumstances under which he died has since then hit a dead end as it has not yet been revealed to the public the exact cause of his death. The film featuring Collin Simpson, who also featured on the Constant gardener, is directed by Bob Nyanja of Cinematic solutions and also director of another hyped movie, Malooned. The film premiered at the Nakumatt Junction in presence of the Vice president, Kalonzo Musyoka and minister for information and communications Samuel Poghisio who had also attended the unveiling of the 5th Kenya International Film Festival which is meant to promote the Kenyan film industry by giving local and regional film makers a platform to premier their films to both local and international audience.
Sentiments expressed by an anonymous person were along the lines of “I like the way the English guy (Collin Simpson) brought out Father Kaisers Personality but I still find it a little bit too fictional and exaggerated especially the part where they claim the Kaiser had mentored a young priest who later impregnated a young school teacher in the movie in the contrary it was his (Kaiser’s) niece who fell in love with a Maasai man”.
