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.

When asked about the diverse cast, movie director Emmanuel Ikubese from Nigeria said that, “As Africans, we face the same challenges even when we come from different countries.

When asked to talk about the series, Producer Usama Mukwaya said, “Young people utilize avenues like media to consume information. A show like Kyaddala steps in as a familiar form of information provision that young people can easily relate to.”
