Synopsis
From the slums of Kampala to becoming one of the country's most adored stars, Bobi Wine began to use his music to call out corruption, going on to become an Independent Member of Parliament against President Museveni, a tyrannical ruler who had clung to power since 1986. Bobi and his wife Barbie choose to risk their lives in trying to defend the rights of Ugandan people, but the state stopped at nothing to silence their cause.
