The Caller

• Watchlist

KOKI MANDLA is an arrogant egotistical radio host who thinks she has the whole world in her hands, pushing the envelope in conversations and segments in and around her show. Every morning she hosts Kenya's biggest breakfast show, a scandalous lascivious show that focuses on misguided Kenyan relationships. The most popular segment being "Cheaters" where unsuspecting participants are tricked to reveal their infidelities live on air. As the studio's pre-recording machine is under maintenance, Koki gets a call from Neema, a lady tangled in the cheater session of the previous day. Neema cries for help and begs Koki to clear her name but before Koki and the studio can make heads or tails of what is happening, a gunshot is heard live on national radio. A hostage situation ensues, with Neema's husband; a Sergeant at a local police station, holding his wife and children hostage at gunpoint with the intention of killing them for her infidelity. The only person he will talk to is Koki, live on radio.
