Nigerian movies had for long dominated the movie world making them a household item like the Lingala music dominated the music airwaves for years. Like Uganda Music displaced the Lingala Music, the same transformation is yet to be witnessed in the movie circles.
Ugandans have started acting and so far the few movies which are already screening prove that there is a lot of hope in that sector. Popular among them is "Too Late" by Moses Kays who happens to be a rich man but his wife abandons him for another man who was taking her to the western world.
Apart from the trying to mimic the western accent, it looks like all is well given chance. The movies are a serious threat to the local theater entertainment of Theatre Labonita which has been there for quite sometime.
Bobi Wine and Juliana are some of the artists who have had leading roles in these Ugandan Movies. In a related development, TV soaps like Kakibe KKi on NTV have equally come up clearly showcasing the potential in the Uganda Movie Industry.

Goats Race at Munyonyo -2008
The royal ascot goats race 2008 was held at Speke Resort Munyonyo last Saturday(30.Aug.2008). Over 17 million shillings was raised for charity and voluntary organizations.
It was an idea borrowed from a pigs race in Zimbabwe so the pigs were substituted with goats for fundraising purposes. The first goats race took place in 1993 at Kampala Rugby Grounds. The event has gained popularity overtime forcing its relocation to bigger grounds and that is how Speke Resort Munyonyo comes in very squarely.
In 1993 the event attracted 400 guests and in 2005 7,000 guests. The 2008 has surpassed 10,000 guests and it is the number one social event that brings all Ugandans irrespective of age, colour and political difference together.
Salama School for the blind, a school of 68 blind children is one of the beneficiaries of the 2008 proceeds from the goats race.
After the price giving ceremony of course for which goats performed very well, fire works kicks off lasting several minutes. Some revellers were heard saying Happy New Year ushering in a new year in September..
