The Wall Street Boy, Kipkemboi is the story of an African teenager in a mud hut who brings the world financial markets to its knees. After the young math genius creates a successful equation to play the stock market, he attracts the unwanted attention of dangerous international financiers and local police. From a small and poor village, Kipkemboi is forced to flee for his safety and convince authorities of the incredible mathematical discovery.
The film is an action thriller directed by Charles Uwagbai (The Ghost and The Tout, Blood of Enogie), written by Joel Richardson, and produced by Jennifer Jonas and Leonard Farlinger (New Real Films), with music supervision by Michael Perlmutter.

2 Minute Making of the Score Video
20 Minute Score Showcase
Kipkemboi, The Wall Street Boy was an opportunity for composer Amin Bhatia to re-engage his love of modular synthesizers as well as sounds and music from his African childhood. Kipkemboi is a very David and Goliath story, so organic and ethnic instruments would battle against walls of synths. It was a very enjoyable experience for all involved in the score, and a very timely message about man and technology.
