SYNOPSIS:

When a young man from a struggling neighborhood is killed in what appears to be a hit-and-run, his grieving mother is left searching for answers. Inspector Juma, a determined and principled detective, takes on the case and soon discovers that the incident was not accidental. As he follows a trail of evidence, Juma finds himself in conflict with Uganda’s wealthiest tycoon, Mark Mugisha, whose influence extends deep into the justice system. Despite mounting threats to his family, his career, and even his life, Juma fights to bring justice to the victim and peace to his family. "Beneath the Shadows" combines the tension of a crime thriller with a moving, character-driven story of integrity and courage. It highlights the universal struggle of standing up against corruption in the pursuit of justice. I believe this screenplay will resonate with audiences who appreciate suspenseful storytelling rooted in real-world issues, and I am confident it will appeal to both domestic and international viewers.
