Cindy Magara

I am a filmmaker and film academic. Currently marketing a 13-segment documentary film, "Tuko Pamoja" that I want to adapt into a live-action series titled "Conquer or Die". I want to make a "Game of Thrones' of the African Great Lakes Region with the protagonist being King Kabalega (Kabarega) of the mighty Bunyoro Kitara empire.

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Cindy Magara. It's great to meet you. A "Game of Thrones" of the African Great Lakes Region sounds exciting!

Sam Sokolow

It's great to see you on IYW, Cindy Magara. Is there a trailer of TUKO PAMOJA that we can see? A GoT set in the African Great Lakes region sounds epic, I recently met with the head of content and multimedia services at the Uganda Communications Commission and there is so much energy and dedication in East Africa to cultivating storytellers and great stories. I can see your idea flourishing and would love to see it on the screen.

Cindy Magara

Oh, Sam, you have been to Uganda! Here is the trailer.https://youtu.be/DiNSa2XmL_0?si=UlqN7NZaC5CLK2-5. Glad to know you have interest in our regions stories.
