KAMPALA: Tuko Pamoja (We Are One) docuseries by Evelyn Cindy Magara (PhD) and Nyati Motion Pictures goes to Cinemas with 13 premieres starting from February to June 2024. Tuko Pamoja documentary film (series) is about Uganda’s heroes and unity in diversity.
Written by Rogers Atukunda and directed by Dr. Magara, a Lecturer of Film and Literature at Makerere University, the film explores the unifying geopolitical and geolinguistics of 1870-1900 Uganda and the historical relationships between the peoples of the Great Lakes Region.
The segments that shall have independent premieres include Bunyoro-Kitara; Buganda; Busoga; Tooro; Ankole; Kigezi; Breakaway Kingdoms, The Luo; The Ateker; The Peoples of Rwenzori, The Peoples of Eastern Uganda, West Nile and finally Uganda: The Making of a Nation.
“This film aims to foster cohesion since our pre-colonial history shows that we are one” (Tuko Pamoja) and our different tribes (nations) were geographical emblems that should continue to define but not divide us,” said Director Dr Cindy Magara.
According to Dr Magara, the story is relevant to contemporary East Africa as the region struggles to foster unity through a confederation of states such as the East African Community and Africa Union.
