Kampala, 19 September 2025 — Uganda’s film industry is on the cusp of a cinematic revolution, and at the heart of it is Humphrey Nabimanya, the visionary Chief Executive Producer behind iconic projects like Sabotage, Kyaddala, When You Become Me, and the prestigious iKon Awards.

This new wave of films, comprising gripping TV dramas and thrilling feature films, showcases the immense talent within Uganda’s film industry while pushing the boundaries of local cinema. By partnering with acclaimed producers and production companies such as Reach A Hand and SautiPlus, Nabimanya could have easily produced these projects solo, given his stellar track record.

The 2025 lineup is nothing short of extraordinary, featuring standout projects that promise to leave audiences spellbound. First, there’s The Unforgivable, produced by Matovu Martin Eric, a raw and emotional TV drama that dives deep into the complexities of the human experience. Next is Wuuzi, produced by David Mukama, a suspense-filled masterpiece packed with unexpected twists to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Rounding out the trio is Operation Ssalongo, produced by Denis Dhisooka Junior, a bold, conversation-sparking feature that is already generating buzz as a must-see.
