Ugandan movie, “Kony: Order from Above” has gotten a mega distribution deal.
We have learned that Trace Studios, dedicated to the worldwide distribution and production of audiovisual programs, has taken over the distribution of the movie.
The exciting development was disclosed by the movie director Steve T. Ayeny.
“This Christmas is special, it came as a gift to all of us! One of the biggest global distribution platforms, TRACE TV, has taken our film, Kony Order From Above. It is a win for the Ugandan film industry,” Steve said in a Facebook post.
Kony: Order from Above, based on actual happenings, tells a story of two youth, Otti and Aguti who fall in love during the tumultuous northern Uganda Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency.
They are however separated when Otti is abducted at age 11. While in abduction, Otti attempts to escape back home and is instead caught and battered at each attempt.
He decides to stay in the bush with the LRA rebels and is soon introduced into the inner command circle of notorious LRA rebel leader Joseph Kony’s. Despite his concession to notoriety, his love for Aguti remained undeterred. In an attempt to sustain it, Otti wrote letters to Aguti through the village reverend.
During the LRA raid to Aboke Girls School, Aguti and other girls are then abducted.
Upon arrival at the Kony camp, the abductees are shown to Kony who falls in love with Aguti instantly without knowledge of the relationship between her and Otti.
