See what all the fuss is about below:

Shine is a teenager in Zimbabwe who has a knack for making something out of nothing and could have a promising future as an engineer, except for the fact that she doesn’t believe in herself. When she and her best friends Faro, Stella and Busi are faced with a host of grown-up problems – loss of loved ones, overdue exam fees and the curse of “blessers” – they come close to giving up. Will Shine and her friends be able to overcome their circumstances or will they admit defeat in the face of adversity? Their story is one of friendship, of creating a new family from the people who love you, and of the very real power to be found in girls supporting girls. ‘Shaina’ is designed to decrease gender-based violence by encouraging peer support among girls and demonstrating positive masculinity.

 

 

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. Animated sequences showing the HIV virus traveling through the human body at different stages of the infection are interwoven with Kalu’s story. This story of love, football and HIV is now the most watched film in Africa ever.
