Africa Première of Inspiring Film of Parkinson’s Heroism


I am delighted to host the Africa Première of this remarkable film, a true story of heroism.

This is so much more personal to me as the subject of the film, Guy Deacon CBE, is a fellow Parkinson’s sufferer.

This follows the UK Première which is being screened by mainstream television broadcaster Channel 4. See the trailer below, or here:


I spoke to Guy the other day and I am delighted that he will be here in Kenya with me as my honoured guest at this event.

    Great cause. Shared the poster with a group of young men (at the time) that you mentored during their time at Homegrown here in Kenya.
