Cinema Red Pill podcast

We talk about Mati Diop's phenomenal debut feature film 'Atlantics'. Available on Netflix now!

Our first episode since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Uganda, we're happy to connect online and talk about how we've been coping with the lockdown. Get into the various films we've been watching from movies, youtube videos, tik tok, new streaming services and much more.

We're back! Expect weekly episodes from now on. Starting off with a recap of films from the Ngalabi short film festival that took place from 31st January to 2nd February at the Maisha Gardens. The fantastic program was curated by our very own Joel Tuagineyo! We talk about some stand out like Peter Muhumuza's 'Facing North', the Tunisian oscar nominated short 'Brotherhood' and a lot more.

On a rainy Saturday morning (you will hear it in the background), I met up with Claire to talk about our personal fav movies from the past decade.

Timothy and Sharon are joined by Poet/Writer/Zinemaker and all round phenomenal artist Gloria Kiconco to talk about Shaka Zulu, a miniseries that played on UTV back in the day (we can't remember exactly when!). We talk about its controversial initial release, speculate the accuracy of the show, talk about what its like to watch a show like this today and its power and significance overall. If you watched Shaka Zulu while growing up as well, let us know your story! The miniseries position as a staple in many homes might call for a follow up episode to hear more from other people!
