Nominated: Best Director, Morris Mugisha, Uganda Film Festival Awards, 2021NEWS about this Film:
"Rushabiro and Agaba lead the cast and both suffered sprains because of the rocky hills on location. The shooting had to pause to let them heal. The film crew had to movie to Kasese and pitch camp on the boarders of Queen Elizabeth National Park in dormitories of an institution. The commitment left the film producer so proud of the team" - The Daily Monitor
