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.
