A film starring Bobi Wine, real name Robert Kyagulanyi, has been briefly aired at the 79th World Film Festival in Venice, Italy. The film was selected to be among the top 20 films in the world to grace the festival.
The documentary film dubbed “Bobi Wine; The Ghetto President” captures his hustle to stardom and also his journey in active politics.
The movie details the spectacular rise of Bobi Wine as it takes us down the remarkable story of a rags-to-riches tale of a poor boy from Kamwokya slum who rose from obscurity to become a celebrated national hero—against all odds.
It shows that through music and politics, Bobi Wine has managed to win hearts both in Uganda and across the world.
Also, it highlights the deep governance issues in Uganda when it comes to opposing the status quo. Several scenes are captured of the challenges Bobi Wine has encountered since he declared his intentions to oppose President Yoweri Museveni, from security force brutality to imprisonment.
The movie further suggests how the Ghetto President is ready to take Uganda into the future.
