The FILM: City of Destiny (2021) (Action | Thriller | Drama | 80 min)
"At the centre of the movie is the strong cultural attachment the Acholi people have to the historical tourist sites. While the movie shades light on the available ventures, it also tells how weak the traditional system is today despite having a well-organised cultural system from the grassroots to the top. And due to the weakness of the institution, it has caused clustered rifts over land by those in the military." - Arnest Tumwesige, The Kampala Sun.
