Anne G. Mungai, born in 1957, is regarded as a pioneer of Kenyan cinema and one of the first in her country to make feature-length fiction films. She began filming in 1980 and mainly made short and medium-length films, documentaries and docudramas, before and after the film that made her known. She later taught film at Kenyatta University, where in 2018 she defended a doctoral thesis on cinema and social change in East and West Africa. She died in 2025.
