Can “The Honourable Shyne” Sway Voters? 

‘The Honourable Shyne’ debuted at number 1 on Hulu earlier this week. The documentary takes a look at the life of Belizean politician Moses “Shyne” Barrow. 

Since his last #1 record in the past 20 years, Barrow calls his “life documentary a “Belizean success story, a global success story.” 

As the 2025 elections approach, some wonder if the documentary could influence Belize’s political arena.

Prime Minister John Briceño has publicly criticised the film, questioning its portrayal of Barrow’s story. In response, Barrow dismissed the criticism, saying, “Fool is talking, but it’s not fool-listening. I’m happy he’ll be tuning in.”

Barrow said that the documentary isn’t about campaigning for political office but about resilience and second chances. He said, “I don’t believe that the documentary is campaigning for me to be the next Prime Minister.” However, when asked about a possible sequel, he said, “The part two is me being the prime minister of Belize.” He added, “Even if it doesn’t happen, it will be part two because it will document the journey.”

He added, “My story is the Briceño story, the Barrow story, the Musa story, the Hyde story. It’s your story.”
