After Bollywood and Nollywood, Uganda brings 'Wakaliwood'

Writer, director, editor and producer Isaac Nabwana (L) says Uganda's informal film industry will give studios in Nigeria, India and the United States a run for their money It's a searing hot day, and a group of commandos are attempting a daring prison break. "You will never succeed, we will destroy the world! You will see!" screams a recurring villain in a black balaclava, who is the leader of the Tiger Mafia, before a fistfight ensues. It is being filmed in a scrap yard in Wakaliga, a slum in Uganda's capital Kampala now baptised "Wakaliwood". "It is going to be as big as Nollywood, Bollywood or even Hollywood - there’s no reason why not," writer, director, editor and producer Isaac Nabwana boasted of Uganda's informal film industry -- boldly insisting studios in Nigeria, India and the United States will get a run for their money.
