Hollywood Film Starring Kenyan Actor 5th Most Popular

 

Kenyan actors are “on their Lupita Nyong’o” (to use Jay Z’s words). Just days after Lupita made her country proud, another Kenyan is treading the same path.

Benjamin Ochieng, known for his work in Tears of the Sun (2003), Kwame (2008) and Inception (2010), is headed for glory. As Benji is currently in the country to promote his latest movie, God’s Not Dead, the movie is doing extremely well back in the US.

Rotten Tomatoes, the ultimate movie and TV database, has placed movie 4^th on its Weekend Box Office Chart just three places below Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Noah and Divergent.

A young boy fighting cancer writes letters to God, touching lives in his neighborhood and community and inspiring hope among everyone he comes in contact. With almost no one in his corner, Josh wonders if he can really fight for what he believes. Can he actually prove the existence of God? Wouldn’t it just be easier just to write “God Is Dead” and put the whole incident behind him? GOD’S NOT DEAD weaves together multiple stories of faith, doubt and disbelief, culminating in a dramatic call to action.

 

Benji plays the reverend in God’s Not Dead. Here’s the trailer;
