Stori Yangu S1-4
Ever wondered about the lives of well-known personalities and celebrities before the fame? Or how their journey to the top was like? You can catch it all in the documentary series Stori Yangu. The first of its kind in Kenya, Stori Yangu goes beyond the headlines and the fame and digs deeper into the lives of some of the biggest personalities in the country to bring you the stories that defined their journey to make them the success stories they are today.
Produced by Eugene Mbugua (Sol Family, Our Perfect Wedding), Stori Yangu reveals everything we didn’t know about our celebrities – from the struggles to the heartbreaks to the decisions that shaped them.
Here you’ll get to follow the inspiring stories of popular musicians like Size 8, some whose lives have been defined by controversy like Bahati, radio personalities like Caroline Mutoko, the women behind some of Kenya’s biggest politicians like Ida Odinga and politicians themselves like John Kiarie, sports legends like Kipchoge Keino and Catherine Ndereba, comedians like Njugush and so many more.
While staying as honest and as in-depth as possible, Stori Yangu offers the public a glimpse into all the momentous highlights of their remarkable lives as told in their own words and by those close to them.
Producer Mbugua who’s risen to become the most sought-after documentary-reality filmmaker in Kenya has revealed in a past interview with Showmax that Stori Yangu is his favourite show.
