South Bay Film Society has partnered with National Geographic Docs to bring this gripping and important documentary to you.

Born in the slums of Kampala, Bobi Wine, Ugandan opposition leader, former member of parliament, activist and national superstar musician, risks his life and the lives of his wife, Barbie, and their children to fight the ruthless regime led by Yoweri Museveni.

Rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

“It’s hard not to be swept up in the film, a delivery device for outrage in a moment that could use it.” – Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times

“It’s a gripping piece of film-making: a propulsive, kinetic account of a grassroots campaign captured at what would seem to be considerable personal risk to both the subject and directors.” – Wendy Ide, Observer

“Aside from its scintillating title character, BOBI WINE: The People’s President is valuable because it stands as a clarion call against authoritarianism.” – J. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
