The FILM: Slum Bomber (2026) (Drama | Sports)
From the ashes of war and the grit of Kampala’s slums rises an unstoppable force. When young Julie Akol witnesses her father’s heroic sacrifice during the final days of the Northern Uganda conflict, she inherits his unbreakable spirit. Years later, trapped in poverty and working as a maid in the city, she discovers the raw power of boxing — and a fire within herself she never knew existed. And in the ring, she fights for more than victory.
