Review | 'Bobi Wine' doc: A winning portrait of a Ugandan also-ran
Briefly

Bobi Wine's campaign for the presidency of Uganda in 2021 was characterized by his vigor, charisma, and concern for the Ugandan people. The documentary suggests that he may have been the top vote-getter, despite the declared winner being Yoweri Museveni, who has held the presidency since 1986.
The documentary highlights the struggles and hardships faced by Wine during his campaign. He was arrested, beaten, and placed under house arrest. Many of his top aides and supporters were jailed, and there were reports of violence against National Unity Platform supporters.
The filmmakers, Christopher Sharp and Moses Bwayo, took a cinéma vérité approach, following Wine and his family for five years. They had extraordinary access to Wine and his family, providing an in-depth look at his personal life and political journey.
