Reacting to the news, Bobi Wine expressed humility, acknowledging the global significance of the Academy Awards and emphasizing the ongoing fight for democracy in Uganda and worldwide. He thanked for the recognition.

Bobi Wine, a vocal critic of President Museveni, lost the 2021 presidential election amid allegations of rigging, triggering nationwide opposition protests and security force violence.

The documentary, directed by Moses Bwayo and Christopher Sharp, received an Audience Choice Award at the Cinema Eye Honors 2024 and won the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 2022 Hamptons International Film Festival.

Addressing the nomination’s potential impact, Bobi Wine hopes it will raise awareness about Uganda’s struggle for freedom, human rights, and democracy. He aims to leverage the global platform to influence those supporting the Ugandan regime.
