But he didn’t shake his head.

“My people, the people of Uganda, know my journey through music, politics, imprisonment and torture, but this film is a microcosm of my country’s greatest struggles under a ruthless dictatorship that has operated with impunity for decades,” Wynne said. “I can’t wait for a worldwide audience to see the reality of the situation and question their leaders’ support for this regime.”

We believe this to be one of those cases. “
