Ugandan filmmakers urged to focus on culture

Mzee Julius Bwanika, the executive secretary of Pearl Wood, says the young generation is more exposed to foreign than indigenous content and this challenge is resulting in the erosion and extinction of Ugandan and African culture at large.

Hoima City deputy mayor Sylia Nalumaga expressed excitement about the training of the filmmakers adding that if they embrace cultural content, it will help mostly young children whom she said are growing without knowing their cultures. (Credit: Peter Abaanabasazi)
