Our suggestions
Follows Ugandan opposition leader, activist and musical star Bobi Wine. He used his music to fight the regime led by Yoweri Museveni, the person who led the country for 35 years.
"A popular musician running for president of a country is an extravagant idea in itself, so a documentary about it couldn't be any different, with all the good and bad that comes with it. "Bobi Wine: The People’s President" documents how the namesake artist challenged the long-standing rule of Yoweri Museveni, who has been the president of Uganda since 1986, a military dictatorship disguised as a democracy. News reports and history already document the outcome of that election, but here what matters is the journey and the exposure: beneath Wine's charisma, there is a message about the importance of fighting for democracy or maintaining it where it truly exists."
