@wekesa_amos @kajik5566 Canada, has alot of money and potential investors in film, especially documentary,my advice is through ambassador lobby for a co production treaty between UG & CAN, as you know the first documentary was from here in 1922( Nanook of the North), the market is there.

@DouglasLwangaUg No wonder you never paid most of the Artists during purple party.

[Walta Gabriel Busulwa @WaltaGabriel]

@wekesa_amos I love how Bearcats, jump on anything they see about Art ,yet they pretend that Artists exist in Uganda....

[Walta Gabriel Busulwa @WaltaGabriel]

I think start over from beginning.
