John-Allan Namu together with his team at Africa Uncensored, have given Kenya its first ever true crime documentary series, The Last Door, and is now streaming on Showmax.
Narrated by Namu himself, who’s also the series’ creator and executive producer, The Last Door seeks to reveal hidden and unacknowledged truths about infamous crimes perpetrated in Kenya. “Every story in the series is important to me, because (I hope) it will get the audience asking questions about deaths that they have felt are/were unresolved, and give the public answers to the questions they have about the crimes that we feature,”
The Last Door kicks off with The Death of an Heiress, an episode that sees Namu travel to the coastal town of Lamu to meet Omar Lali, the man at the centre of the mysterious death of Keroche heiress Tecra Muigai. This episode also features emotional accounts from Tecra’s sister Anerlisa Muigai and her mother Tabitha Karanja, Nakuru Senator and CEO of Keroche Breweries.
The Last Door isn’t his first foray into documentaries that explore human interest stories and expose the ills and failings of our society. In 2020, Namu and his team released the investigative documentary series Maisha Mkanda (also available on Showmax).
