Pepeta series Showmax

Pepeta

Made in Kenya

Set in Kibera, Pepeta is about the talented young footballer, Junior, and his coach, who are in the cross-hairs of an unforgiving cop.

Pepeta is loosely based on the real-life story of Harun "Rio" Wathari. The eight-part series captures the dreams and realities of the youth in Kibera, known for churning out top football players in the country.

Junior is a 17-year-old talented footballer torn between the thrills of crime and the promises of soccer. Kepha is an unforgiving cop with a personal vendetta, determined to rid the streets of criminals. And Biki is an ambitious football coach determined to get Junior and his friends scouted before the barrel of the gun cuts short their dreams.

All episodes of Pepeta are now ready to binge.
