Ugandan movie,”Kony: Order from Above” has been selected for screening at the African Film Festival (TAFF) which will take place in June this year in Dallas, Texas, USA.
The development was revealed by the movie director Steve T Ayeny who noted that this is a big achievement for the Ugandan film industry.
“It is a big achievement that a Ugandan film has been selected among many other films from different countries around the world for TAFF,” Ayeny disclosed. “As a director, I am very excited and feel that God has really done amazing things in our lives. 2020 we have bigger projects coming up.”
TAFF celebrates films and arts that either promote African culture; address issues affecting Africa and people of African descent; or explore African landmarks and historic leaders.
Meanwhile, last year in November, the film launched a North America tour and so far it has had 11 screenings in cities like Montreal and Ottawa, Canada among others.
“Right now we are proud that our work is out there being watched by people all over the world,” Ayeny added.
Based on a true story, “Kony: Order from Above” is a drama that tells a story of two youth, Otti and Aguti who fall in love during the tumultuous northern Uganda Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency.
