This is a short from Nabwana I.G.G. Yes, something else from the Wakaliwood universe:
For the sake of being a completionist, I viewed the only other work from the Wakaliwood universe that is easy to find online (in fact, it's on their YouTube channel); this is a 12 minute short set and filmed at the Nyege Nyege Festival, an event founded by ex-pats to the country held in the lakefront city of Jinja, Uganda. The plot is that The Tiger Mafia wishes to kidnap the kid daughter of the festival's organizer. Commandos are there to try and protect everyone, although plenty are shot and killed... note that this event features a good number of white people and they are among the ones that die.
Sure, this doesn't actually have a proper ending and I have no idea of a conclusion was actually filmed. This does not matter too much to me as this still has plenty of no-budget charm, incredibly wacky moments (including the appearance of a deity that appears to save the day... and what this deity is) and two things I have to spotlight. The main bad guy has homemade glasses which are... three CD's taped together?! Yes, 'tis true. VJ Emmie-as always-is there to offer commentary and some of his best jokes are here. That includes referring to a random bad guy as STEVEN SENEGAL; incredible.
Hopefully one day we can see more from Wakaliwood; for those that have seen everything else they can, don't forget about this.
