Shuga, An MTV Staying Alive Drama Set In Nairobi, Kenya

Written By: Staff Writer—If you haven’t heard about Shuga, the television drama that has Kenyans glued to their small screens, you can now watch the series online. While Shuga is part of a broader HIV prevention campaign, it is not your typical after school special. Following the lives of six college students living life on the fast lane, no topic is too taboo to explore on Shuga—love, sex, alcohol, and money are all a part of the students' risky behavior. Take a look for yourself by watching episode 1 of Shuga below:
