BBC released a powerful documentary titled Blood Parliament, shedding light on the harrowing events of June 25, 2024, when Kenyan Gen Z protesters stormed Parliament in a bold stand against the controversial Finance Bill 2024.
What began as a youth-led call for accountability ended in chaos and bloodshed, with chilling scenes of police brutality now drawing global attention.
The documentary captures the raw reality of that day—shattered glass, tear gas clouds, and desperate cries from young citizens demanding their voices be heard.
Families are still grappling with trauma, many having lost loved ones or watched them suffer permanent injuries.
Among those featured is Allans Ademba, a passionate protester whose emotional testimony has resonated with viewers.
Despite receiving advice to flee the country for his safety, Ademba has stated he is unable to seek asylum, citing personal and financial constraints.
“I can’t just leave everything behind,” he says in the film. “This is my home.”
As Blood Parliament circulates widely, pressure mounts on Kenyan authorities to account for the violence.
Meanwhile, the youth who marched on June 25 continue to fight not just for justice, but for survival.
