Oscar-Nominated Doc ‘Bobi Wine: The People’s President’ Returns To Theaters This Weekend


National Geographic Documentary Films is bringing 'Bobi Wine: The People’s President' back to theaters for President’s Day weekend.

The film follows Bobi Wine, the Ugandan opposition leader, former member of parliament, activist and national superstar musician during the country’s 2021 presidential elections where he risks his life to fight the ruthless regime led by Yoweri Museveni. Deadline’s review called it an “exceptional feat” by Ugandan-born director Moses Bwayo and Christopher Sharp “to make an international audience care so deeply about a place that’s typically ignored by the world’s news media.” Born in the slums of Kampala, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, famously known as Bobi Wine, is a musician turned politician, who is the current leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and the People Power Movement.
