1. I would enjoy watching our traditional creation stories being told in dramatization eg the house of Mumbi and Gikuyu and the 9 or is it 10 daughters. The Maasai descending from heaven with their cows.
2. The legend behind Kit-Mikayi and other legends
3. An expose/documentary about the pyramid schemes eg DECI and all the others.
4. The coming of the white/arab man into Kenya The story behind the formation of our towns etc The Egerton story
5. Celebrate the successes of our times eg the birth of Bidco, Equity, KCB bla bla
6. Highlight the issues that led to the downfall of parastatals that were eg KICOMI RIVERTEX
7. Our traditional beliefs and customs Two things, they are very expensive to produce and they would work against the people who have the money to invest in such - they prefer it when wanjiku is only reading and hearing about our tribe being targeted. One day someone shall be creative enough and they shall strike gold. It can be expensive to produce the first show/s but after enough publicity advertisers will flock in.

Some of these documentaries have the potential of promoting tourism, besides educating us about our country. I most certainly would love to know the story behind Chalbi desert.  Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Indeed the education in them would be enormous besides that, it would promote our cultural diversity and promote integration. Our kids need to learn more about our culture and celebrate our heroes.

Isn't it strange that despite the country teeming with wildlife, all wildlife documentaries have been made by foreigners, who then sell the docs to us. We should have been the ones selling such material to the rest of the world. Laziness? Lack of creativity?

Kitambo vok/kbc used to have those nice documentaries, they were mostly geared towards culture but were very informative - but back then the national broadcaster was being fully funded by the government. When the government cut back funding and the national broadcaster was required to raise a good chunk of revenue, plus the private broadcasters came in and poached the top talent huko vok/kbc then that was the end of that. Worst case is that the private broadcasters realized there was too much money to be made in politics, and creativity had to be pushed back.
