George Weah - Part 1 ( 0 to 11mins )

Part 2:    • George Weah - Part 2 ( 11 to 25mins )  

This is One of hundreds of features and documentaries I filmed for Trans World International / IMG Media spanning 17 years.

This is one of my favourite stories as we were waiting in Liberia for George for three days whilst he had other commitments. He then flew us down on a private plane to Ghana with his mates to pick him up at his Mum's place and we still managed to get this one done in three days.
