## Prompt

- Model: Seedance 2.5

```text
This is messy, fast-cut 1980s home video shot on a VHS camcorder in a "plot" — a cluster of rented rooms around a shared dirt courtyard — in Nairobi's Jericho estate, Kenya. All people are Kenyan, and any speech, shouting, or chatter heard is in Swahili
```
