After years of repression, a film about Bobi Wine’s heroic stand against Yoweri Museveni has given new life to the opposition

When the Ugandan musician turned politician Bobi Wine ran for president, his 2020 campaign was thwarted by violent crackdowns by Yoweri Museveni’s regime. Since the election, Bobi Wine – whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu – and his wife, Barbie, say that, from phone tapping to abductions of his supporters, things have been “pretty much the same” in many ways.

With one key difference: the release of the feature documentary Bobi Wine: The People’s President.
