Finally, a locally made film was premiered at Cineplex cinema last weekend.
The movie is Fate, a Nyati Motion Pictures production was launched on July 30 at Hotel Africana in Kampala.
Fate rotates around Kate Komuntale (Nantongo Justine), a thirty-something corporate executive who has got it all except a husband and a child. This bothers her mother who mounts pressure on Kate to get married and complete the circle.
But Kate has other things on her mind: To build her career and make more money.
Kate’s mother suggests that she (Kate) pays a young man to sire a child with her. Luckily, her prince charming, Ken Bagonza (Alie Mutaka), a smooth-talking intelligence officer, comes into Kate’s life and walks her down the aisle.
But Ken turns out to be a savage and Kate’s dream turns into a nightmare. But what awaits her is even more disturbing — she discovers she is HIV positive.
The bulk of the movie deals with Kate’s struggle to beat the odds. Will she survive this?
Fate tackles a myriad of societal issues — marital conflict, society and marriage, romance, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and the workplace, amongst many others.
It is among the first professionally produced films in Uganda.
Nyati Motion Pictures will screen the film at various venues across the country starting this weekend. Tickets for the Cineplex screenings are on sale at the Cineplex Box at Garden City and Wilson Road.
