The true, crazy story of Wakaliwood. Directed by Cathryne Czubek (A Girl and a Gun), Once Upon a Time in Uganda takes a trip to the open sewers and open hearts of the Ugandan film industry - such as it is. Cinemas, as Nabwana explains, are only for the rich, and everyone else has to make do with home-burned bootlegs of 1980s American action films. That's what inspired Nabwana to found Ramon Film Productions, and make his own entertaining movies. It's all crafted with cheap cameras, volunteer actors, homemade effects, and an editing suite that he literally wired together himself. Plus there's mad maker/prop master Dauda, whose sheer glee at getting to make movies is infectious. What Nabwana made is unique, and it's something that Hofmanis (a former festival booker himself) fell in love with – as have global audiences.
