Experiencing Interruptions?

90 Days To Leave

This short documentary is about the expulsion of the Asian community from the East African nation of Uganda in 1972. The documentary tells not only of the racial hatred and military hostility that the Asians received from the Ugandan Africans but the difficulty of gaining their British visas, how others headed to America and Asian countries, and the further difficulties that awaited many of those who did get into Britain during the racially charged era of the 1970s, including political opposition to their arrival, discrimination, education, and employment.

Director Statement

90 Days To Leave is a documentary that tells a story of a less known incident that raised concerns about human rights, democracy, and other issues related to pan-African relations.
The making of the film was a very challenging task, as it was very difficult to find the resources to back the story, the footages we found were in very bad condition but we managed to collect sufficient data.
We managed to complete the entire film in just seven days with our brilliant award-winning team including Prateek Srivastava (Author and Academic), Harry Locke IV (known for X-Men, Icarus and Oprah Winfrey Presents: When They See Us Now), Alain Azoulay (known for The Redeemer), Chris Bamford (known for Nightwatch) and Judi Carreon.
It has been so great to see this project develop and receive such a great response from the film festivals where our film was screened I am excited for what the future will hold.
