Flames of Change Short Documentary Film 2025

Flames of Change is a short documentary that explores the story of Alice Kung’u, a woman from Limuru, Kenya,
who is pioneering clean energy solutions in her community through the production of eco-friendly briquettes. Against
a backdrop of environmental degradation and economic hardship, Alice’s work represents a powerful intersection of
climate action, women’s empowerment, and grassroots innovation.
The film follows Alice in her daily routine from overseeing briquette production to engaging with community members
who rely on this affordable, sustainable fuel. Through intimate moments and hands-on demonstrations, we witness
how her initiative not only promotes cleaner cooking alternatives but also provides economic opportunities for women
in her area.
Though Alice mentions training others, the documentary focuses primarily on her leadership and the ripple effect of
her work. With quiet strength, she sparks both literal and symbolic flames of change challenging traditional energy
norms and advocating for a greener, more inclusive future.
