Event Description:
Join us for a powerful documentary screening and panel discussion exploring the human cost of Uganda’s International Airport expansion projects. “Framing the Uproar” sheds light on the struggles of local communities facing displacement, inadequate compensation, and broken promises amidst the ambitious development plans.
Through compelling storytelling and firsthand accounts, the film delves into the complexities of land acquisition, environmental concerns, and the erosion of livelihoods. Witness the resilience of those fighting for their homes and their rights, and engage in a critical conversation about development, progress, and the voices often silenced in its wake.
Panel Discussion:
Following the screening, a diverse panel of filmmakers, activists, community leaders, and government representatives will engage in a thought-provoking discussion. They will dissect the film’s key themes, explore potential solutions, and address pressing questions about accountability, transparency, and ensuring equitable development in Uganda.
