Overview

Inside Story tells the story of Kalu (Kevin Ndege Mamboleo), a rising Kenyan 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+. Kalu goes through an emotional journey as he comes to terms with his diagnosis, encountering social and financial challenges along the way. Using state-of-the-art animation, Inside Story explores the dynamic inner world of the human body, revealing the unseen world of HIV.
