Hey, you're listening to the On the Media Midweek podcast. I'm Michael Lowe.

Don't blame the one who expose a crime.

This week in Uganda, the pop star turned politician Bobby Wine released his manifesto for the

2016 presidential election. The current leader,

Yoeri Museveni, has held power in Uganda since 1986 and is seeking his seventh term.

Last year, Brooke spoke with Bobby Wine and Moses Bwayo, a co-director of the Oscar-nominated

documentary, Bobby Wine, the People's President.

They discussed Bobby's first bid for the presidency, the violent backlash he's faced,

and why it's important for the world to pay attention to what's happening in Uganda.

I'll let Brooke take things from here.

The Oscar-nominated documentary, Bobby Wine, the People's President, follows Wine on his political and personal journey.

From his election to parliament in 2017 through his presidential run in 2021, as he used his music to reach Uganda's population of disenfranchised youth, to explain what

their rights were under the nation's battered constitution in a country where political critiques

can literally kill you. And a heads up, there's a brief description of torture about nine minutes from now.

One day, everything is gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine. One day, everything will be alright.

Ooh, ooh. Oh yeah.

Let's go, yeah.

Let's go, Moses.

That's Bobby Wine and Moses Bwayo, one of the Doc's two directors, testing the levels on their mics.

Welcome to the show.
