The movie, Inside Story: The Science of HIV/AIDS, that features Kenyan actor Kevin Ndege Mamboleo will be premiering in the country sometime this year.
Kevin, who acts in the KTN drama series Changing Times, plays Kalu in the South Africa movie. He is a gifted footballer who moves from rural Kenya to urban Johannesburg to follow his dream and support his family. His path becomes more challenging when he falls in love with the coach's daughter, Ify (Kendra Etufunwa), and subsequently finds out he is HIV positive.
Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Hotel Rwanda, 24) stars as Kalu's mentor and tough-as-nails coach, while Fana Mokoena (Blood Diamond, Hotel Rwanda) plays the ruthless club owner.
Nairobi-based actor Peter King plays Kalu’s coach who tries to teach him the meaning of team and Regina Re plays Miriam, Kalu’s mother. Meanwhile, the US debut will be in Washington DC this month, followed by national broadcasts across sub-Saharan Africa and distribution through grassroots efforts of NGOs, schools and governments.
