As we all know film is universally loved. We may look West and to Tinseltown for our cinematic fix, Uganda might be another to some people. This fascinating documentary focuses on young Ugandan filmmaker Isaac Nabwana, someone who created 47 movies. Some called him Africa’s Tarantino, sharing his love for those 1980’s action movies from the likes of Chuck Norris. This film showcases his rise that would create Wakaliwood pushing it onto the international market.
