27 Guns

27 Guns is a biopic based on true events of Uganda's liberation struggle. It tells the story of a young man and his unlikely group of young idealists who leave all to fight for salvation of a nation. They set off with little more than discipline and courage, buoyed by the indomitable spirit of an oppressed people and launched a protracted guerrilla war.

Director Statement

"I believe it's time to remove the clamps from our mouth and our spirit and speak and tell our own stories in our voices through music, literature, film and fashion. Our heritage, perspective and truth don't need to be validated by strangers or foreigners. We have the authority as sons and daughters of God to speak forth, create and speak everything about who we are."
