Situka (A Call for Action) is a Ugandan feature film about two lovers: Amanio (Hellen Lukoma), an ambitious young woman with a passion for politics, who inspires her boyfriend Muganga (Bobi Wine), an industrious young daredevil, to stand up for justice in society.[1]
Situka explores relevant social issues, inspiring young people to be more involved in their communities, rather than expecting the government to provide for them.[2]
