In the slums of Wakaliga, on the outskirts of Uganda's capital Kampala, an independent film studio has been defying norms for 20 years. With shoestring budgets, Wakaliwood produces action and martial arts films that are viewed by millions of Ugandans on YouTube every year. This cult film studio, blending ultra-violence, comedy and tributes to Bruce Lee classics, made waves in 2010 with "Who Killed Captain Alex?", a viral hit amassing 10 million views. Today, after years of financial struggles, the long-awaited sequel to the film is about to debut, promising to reignite passion for this unique cinema.

Wie wäre es, die nächste #COP28 mal in einem Land stattfinden zu lassen, in der die Veränderungen des #Klimas komplett sichtbar wären?

So als Erlebnisreise & Entscheidungshilfe: #Hitze, #Trinkwasser nur rationiert, lange Wege durch #Slums, Essen nur 80 gr. Reis am Tag, Strom nur mit eigenem Tretrad, Toilette nur mit WC-Pack aus 3 Blatt Papier & einem Tütchen ...

Diese Glamerparties, getarnt als #Klimagipfel sind lächerlich & eigentlich reine Provokation!

Stop driving though our posh suburb yelling #freeJulianAssange. We are #extremelyWealthy and don't pay taxes so people like you die in #highrise #slums on near #airPollution.

We went to great lengths to suppress #corporateMedia so we don't see or hear about you precious #journalism being #onTrial. "#TrialOfTheCentury"? Pfft whatever. We live in luxury courtesy of #bombing and producing quality #refugees and #migrantWorkers - and love #weaponsManufacturing.

Keep your ethics off our street!

Similar boat, we had people vilify us for wanting to have a sensible amount of #immigration into #Australia. Rather than the extreme 300-450 thousand per annum.

Here people don't come after you and attack you, they just completely ignore you. Its the polite way.

Here if you are not down with the #ponziScheme - not attending the seminars that #indoctrinate you with delusions of 7% #perpetualGrowth in #housePrices from #crazyRichAsians, not into #highrise #slums - you must have lepracy. ✌

This excerpt from #Wikipedia:

"In the #UnitedStates, the term #tenement initially meant a large building with multiple small spaces to #rent. As #cities grew in the nineteenth century, there was increasing #separation between rich and poor. With rapid #urban #growth and #immigration, #overcrowded #houses with #poorSanitation gave #tenements a reputation as #slums."
