FIRST EVER UGANDAN MOVIE TO PREMIERE ON GTV

Get ready for two thrilling movies from Uganda and Nigeria premiering on G-Africa this month!

Kiwani, is perhaps the greatest movie ever to come out of Uganda. It is a gripping film about two conmen operating in Kampala. Such a strong film should be celebrated by Ugandans and Africans alike and will be broadcast on Uganda’s Independence Day, Thursday, October 9 at 14:00 GMT on G Africa.

The star-studded movie, directed by Henry Ssali, follows the lives of ‘bafele’ – or conmen – Kaggwa, played by Hannington Bugingo, and his junior accomplice Mwesigye, played by Allan Tumusiime, who lie and cheat their way into people’s lives with sophisticated scams and shady deals in order to con them out of money.
Tangled up in the story is a group of women who meet Mwesigye and like the idea of winning a rich, young husband. They are keen to date the thief when he tells them he is a successful business man, but he is not interested in a relationship. Instead he prays on one of their older aunts and eventually steals from her. Gripping stuff!
However, before long the police catch up with him for the theft and he is thrown in jail. The only way he can be freed is if his friend and partner-in-crime, Kaggwa, posts bail but when Kaggwa tries to pay the charge he realizes the police officer heading up the case is one of his past victims.

On October 15th and 16th, GTV will be premiering both installments of director Ebere Onwu’s Saviour, another gripping movie to be shown on G-Africa.
The dark film follows the life of Eric who returns home to Nigeria after a long period of studying abroad. As he prepares to settle down and marry his childhood sweetheart, tragedy strikes and jolts the tranquility of Eric’s family. As events spiral out of control a saviour is needed to stem the tidal wave of destruction.

Starring Rita Dominic, Chioma Chukwuka and Chidi Mokeme, this brilliant film will keep you on the edge of your seat - it‘s not to be missed!
