It was a full house.

Kyaddala is a story created, shot, and directed in Uganda with an all-star diverse cast from Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda set in a present day high school life. Kyaddala tackles different challenges students face in and around school like reproductive sexual challenges, peer pressure, parents’ interference in their career choices, among others.
