Guinness proudly presents Shine, a heartwarming 28-minute documentary which is premiering on Showmax. This film follows the journeys of four dedicated football fans in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Ghana.
Written by Kenya’s Joan Rispa Kiragu and directed by Nigeria’s Nora Awolowo, Shine captures the spirit and essence of the beautiful game through the eyes of devoted super fans like Gor Mahia’s superfan Toby Jakwaya, Nigeria’s vibrant commentator Tracy Chapele- Ugo (Chief Suo), Ghana’s passionate George Forson, and Tanzania’s spirited Nasri Ramadhan (Ujugu Hapa).
“At Guinness, we know that football is really about the fans, and our mission is to celebrate the fans who pour their heart and soul into supporting the beautiful game,” said Guinness Marketing Manager Henrietta Reed.
“Showmax is trying to bring together the 250 million football fans on our continent, so when Guinness approached us to collaborate on Shine, we jumped at the opportunity to show how many fans in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania,2 she added.
