George Weah’s life has seen him move from a childhood in the slums of the capital of Liberia, Monrovia, to Europe's most famous football clubs and now President of Liberia.

Weah's soccer exploits, and his charitable work off the field made him a hero to a country divided by tribe, politics and a brutal civil war… At some point his charitable work even put him on a collision course with the Warlord and former Liberian President Charles Taylor to such an extent that Weah feared for his life.

In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the interesting life story of the man known as "King George" to his supporters.
