In Kampala slums, Uganda's action-packed film studio Wakaliwood defies norms

In the slums of Wakaliga, on the outskirts of Uganda’s capital Kampala, an independent film studio has been defying norms for 20 years. With shoestring budgets, Wakaliwood produces action and martial arts films that are viewed by millions of Ugandans on YouTube every year. This cult film studio, blending ultra-violence, comedy and tributes to Bruce Lee classics, made waves in 2010 with “Who Killed Captain Alex?”, a viral hit amassing 10 million views. Today, after years of financial struggles, the long-awaited sequel to the film is about to debut, promising to reignite passion for this unique cinema. FRANCE 24’s Clément Di Roma reports.
