Bobi Wine: The People's President

Watch Trailer
2023 · 113 min Documentary
6.7 / 10 · TMDB

Uganda has one the youngest populations in the world and one of its most flagrantly anti-democratic governments. These are ingredients for revolution, and Bobi Wine and his wife Barbie Kyagulanyi are stirring the pot. When the charismatic Bobi, a musician and member of parliament, announces his campaign for president, Uganda’s youth are ecstatic, filling parks and streets for every speech, and singing Bobi’s anthems of peace and freedom. But then comes the crackdown, orchestrated by Yoweri Museveni, a brutal dictator who has ruled Uganda for 36 years. Bobi and his crew survive arrests, beatings, torture, riots and raids.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The directors construct a gripping chronicle, relying on unprecedented access to Bobi Wine's inner circle. They work with intimate vérité footage to explore the mechanics of state repression, contrasting massive rallies with clandestine strategy sessions.

What lingers after viewing is the visceral cost of dissent under a regime that equates opposition with treason. The film builds a powerful testament to resilience that transcends its specific geography. — MovieFinder Editorial
