Overview

Uganda has one the youngest populations in the world and one of its most flagrantly anti-democratic governments.

But then comes the crackdown, orchestrated by Yoweri Museveni, a brutal dictator who has ruled Uganda for 36 years. Bobi and his crew survive arrests, beatings, torture, riots and raids.
