Prince Harry and Meghan Markle discovered Masaka Kids by watching the dance troupe's videos with their son, Prince Archie, during the pandemic. "They would watch the videos regularly with Archie at home. So they were already admirers of the organization before the film project came to them in 2023," a spokesperson for the Sussexes told
The Telegraph.

Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within aligns with
Prince Harry's history as an HIV/AIDS awareness advocate. "In the heart of Uganda's Masaka region, where the shadows of the HIV/AIDS crisis linger, a small orphanage becomes a beacon of hope," the film's
logline reads. "
Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within goes beyond the viral videos to reveal a vibrant, one-of-a-kind community where orphaned children transform hardship into joy, dancing their way toward healing, belonging, and the promise of a brighter future."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle weren't involved in shooting
Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within in Uganda, but they're now using their platform to amplify the project. "When the duke and duchess were made aware of the short [film], they quickly recognized the kids from their viral videos and fell in love with their deeper stories," their spokesperson said of the documentary directed by
David Vieira Lopez and
Moses Bwayo. "Archewell Productions then partnered with seasoned producer Geeta Gandbhir to harness the film's style and tone and ultimately finish the film as you see it today."
