Actor Kevin Ndege won the Zuku Best Actor award at the just concluded Zanzibar International Film Festival for his leading role in the rivetting drama 'Inside Story'.
Kevin, who is currently based in Los Angeles, California rose to fame with his role in the KTN television drama 'Changing Times' alongside other young Kenyan stars.
The film 'Inside Story' was part of efforts by the Discovery Channel's Global Educative Fund in conjunction with PEPFAR, SEACOM, UNAIDS and a cross section of regional and international agencies.
Here's a brief synopsis of the film, compiled by 2Die4:
The Inside Story is about a young man from Kenya who dreams of a professional soccer career. He moves to South Africa, begins a promising relationship with the coach’s daughter, and is on the verge of soccer stardom when he learns he is HIV positive.
INSIDE STORY takes us on a remarkable journey – from rural Kenya to inner-city Jo’burg and then inside our hero’s body (Kevin Ndege)
Fusing the best of fiction and nonfiction storytelling, INSIDE STORY unravels the mystery of how HIV works through a compelling African film. Instead of telling people what to do, INSIDE STORY provides information about HIV in a way that is personal, practical, and memorable.
At the awards ceremony, the regional pay TV channel Zuku TV pledged to sponsor the Zanzibar International Film Festival over a period of 10 years for a total of $1million.
Here's the trailer to the film..
