Trading Lives: Carving Resilience Across Borders is a documentary by The Mkutano Company that explores trade as a lived reality across East Africa. From artisans and entrepreneurs to institutional leaders, the film follows the people building the region’s economic future from the ground up, where production, finance, and trade intersect in practice, not theory.

Moving beyond abstract policy discussions, Trading Lives uses a focused, human-centred lens to examine how MSMEs power African economies, the real constraints and opportunities of intra-African trade, and what the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) means on the ground. By narrowing its cast and prioritising depth over spectacle, the film reveals the micro-level realities that shape macroeconomic outcomes.

Produced by The Mkutano Company, Trading Lives is part of our broader mission to place authentic African narratives at the centre of understanding the continent’s economic promise, using film, convenings, podcasts, and market intelligence as complementary tools.
