Young lovers who find out their parents are secretly dating. A father plotting to kidnap his own son. A scammer who stumbles into some highly confidential information that puts his life in danger.
That’s only a glimpse of what Maisha Magic Movies has in store when the channel’s East African film festival kicks off on 15 October, ending on 21 December.
The 21 Ugandan films commissioned by Maisha Magic Movies are among the channel’s 55 new titles added to 44 already commissioned: 21 from Kenya and 17 from Tanzania. The movies will air every Wednesday and Saturday, bringing two fresh and exclusive films to the channel each week.
Channel head at Maisha Magic Movies, Barbara Kambogi, says: “We are exceptionally proud of how much the channel has evolved within a short space of time, and that’s because everyone involved – from the talent we work with to MultiChoice – is committed to ensuring that Maisha Magic Movies lives up to its promise to be the home of best East African film.
“This continued commitment has also seen us launch more of the best of East African original movies, and we’re glad to announce that we have a blockbuster final quarter of the year lined up for our loyal viewers, whose tastes are varied and always catered to. We will continue to support the East African region by bolstering industry growth, empowering creatives and providing employment,” she concludes.
