‘Bobi Wine: The People’s President’ Directors Say The Fight For Democracy In Uganda Is Ongoing – Contenders Film: The Nominees
'Bobi Wine: The People's President' directors say the fight for democracy in Uganda is ongoing - Contenders Film: The Nominees.
“When he got into Parliament and said he wanted to dislodge the dictatorship … we trusted him,” Bwayo, who did double duty as director of photography on the Oscar-nominated documentary added at Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event Saturday. Back in cinemas in major markets across the U.S. this long Presidents Day weekend, National Geographic ’s very timely Bobi Wine is up against The Eternal Memory, Four Daughters, To Kill a Tiger and 20 Days in Mariupol for Best Documentary at the 96th Academy Awards next month. The very up-close and political film from Bwayo and Christopher Sharp tracks the as-yet-unsuccessful campaign of activist and national superstar Wine to end the neatly 40-year regime of Yoweri Museveni in Uganda.
