'Situka (A Call for Action)' is a Ugandan feature film about two lovers: Amanio (Hellen Lukoma), an ambitious young woman with a passion for politics, who inspires her boyfriend Muganga (Bobi Wine), an industrious young daredevil, to stand up for justice in society.
'Situka' explores relevant social issues, inspiring young people to be more involved in their communities, rather than expecting the government to provide for them.
Synopsis
