00:00:58.999 --> 00:00:59.400
- Hello.

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.080
- The pictures you are
about to see are disturbing

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:16.640
however it is the
reality in Uganda today.

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:20.960
When will this ever end?

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:37.999
(yelling in foreign language)

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:42.999
(dramatic music)

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.640
- The problem I'm here at
the police headquarters

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:09.320
to fight for my right.

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:11.680
I'm a journalist by profession

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:13.280
and I survive on my profession.

00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:04.440
(dramatic music)

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:54.640
- [Ntege] Wow.

00:03:54.999 --> 00:03:55.440
- [Fidan] Hello.

00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:56.999
Ntege?

00:03:57.200 --> 00:03:57.840
- [Ntege] Ntege?

00:03:58.160 --> 00:03:58.680
Hi.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.999
- [Fidan] Fridan,
nice to meet you.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:00.840
- Nice to meet you.

00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:01.999
Wow.

00:04:02.999 --> 00:04:03.480
- Happy?

00:04:03.999 --> 00:04:04.480
(laughing)

00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:05.800
- Thank you.

00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:07.160
- I was thinking is it wise
to give you this because

00:04:07.999 --> 00:04:09.000
probably you broke three
cameras, you probably

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:12.520
will break this one.

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:13.560
- Who told about that?

00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:14.640
- [Fidan] I know everything.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:15.760
(laughing)

00:04:16.280 --> 00:04:16.999
I know everything.

00:04:17.520 --> 00:04:17.975
(laughs)

00:04:17.999 --> 00:04:19.040
- So you're welcome,
this is my home.

00:04:21.999 --> 00:04:22.400
Wow.

00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:24.999
This is nice.

00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:25.999
(laughs)

00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:27.040
Thank you so much.

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:28.880
- I'm glad you like it.

00:04:28.999 --> 00:04:29.680
- Yes, yes, it's nice.

00:04:29.999 --> 00:04:31.240
- Why aren't you afraid that
they will break it again?

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:34.040
How do you come home you have to

00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:35.760
explain Deborah
it happened again?

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.840
- [Ntege] Well I can't.

00:04:37.999 --> 00:04:39.120
- Do you have guilty feelings
or maybe a little bit

00:04:40.999 --> 00:04:41.800
scared for how she will react?

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.200
- Well, she knows
the situation around.

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.320
Well this is our bedroom.

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:51.560
And we share the bed
with the children.

00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:54.040
You see the bed is big.

00:04:55.999 --> 00:04:56.600
- [Fidan] Five children.

00:04:56.999 --> 00:04:57.440
(laughter)

00:04:58.320 --> 00:04:58.999
You get no sleep, huh?

00:04:59.999 --> 00:05:00.999
- [Ntege] I like to
be with my family,

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.320
and I'm missing them.

00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:04.760
- [Fidan] How long is she gone?

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:06.240
- Since March.

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:08.040
That's when she give birth.

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:10.200
- [Fidan] That's a long time.

00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:12.360
- Yeah, since March
up to this time.

00:05:12.999 --> 00:05:14.040
- [Fidan] Did you any
moment at all consider

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:17.720
stopping what you're doing?

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:19.840
- I know that people are
expecting to hear from me,

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:23.800
people are waiting to hear
from me as a journalist

00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:26.600
because I'm the eye,
and I'm the mouth

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:29.999
to the underprivileged
or to people who

00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:33.440
don't know but they
are supposed to know.

00:05:35.999 --> 00:05:36.920
So that is a passion in me.

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.280
Some few months back,
like two months,

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:44.680
I received threatening
documents that threatened

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:50.520
to kill me and my family.

00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:52.999
So this is the letter, they
wrote on 19th of March 2015.

00:05:58.200 --> 00:05:59.600
They are saying you Ntege,
you are not complying

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:03.680
with this government,
enough is enough,

00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:07.560
you indicated to us that
you don't fear to die,

00:06:11.999 --> 00:06:13.440
but what we are going to
do is we are going to cut

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:17.160
your woman's womb,

00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:21.880
in your presence.

00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.760
- [Fidan] They know
she's pregnant?

00:06:23.999 --> 00:06:25.200
- Yes, they knew, 'cause they
told me they had already.

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:27.999
- They already were.

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.000
- [Ntege] Aware of my movement.

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.360
- [Fidan] This is terrible.

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:32.080
- Now we are warning you a
serious warning that any time,

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:36.440
we are coming for you.

00:06:38.999 --> 00:06:39.880
We wish you death by burn.

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:42.280
(dramatic music)

00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:08.920
How many cases do
you get in a year

00:07:10.999 --> 00:07:12.240
from threatening, assault
to harass journalists.

00:07:14.999 --> 00:07:16.080
- We receive about 100
to 150 cases per year.

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:22.760
And these range from
physical assault, harassment,

00:07:25.999 --> 00:07:26.999
and trumped up charges
against journalists.

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.800
- [Fidan] What does
it mean for them?

00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:33.360
- This has somehow
led to self censorship

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:36.120
among the journalists.

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.999
Some of them have actually
abandoned their profession

00:07:41.080 --> 00:07:41.999
because of death threats.

00:07:42.999 --> 00:07:43.800
Some have even been jailed.

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:47.999
Some of them at some
point are courageous,

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.160
but as the threats
continue, they pull out.

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.120
Not like Ntege who is
threatened several times,

00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.920
but he never gives up.

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.120
(dramatic music)

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:21.760
Normally you come here
with boda boda or?

00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:23.800
- Yeah, it's coming
from the road side,

00:08:24.999 --> 00:08:26.280
where we branched off, I come
using a boda boda to here.

00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:30.999
- I'm Deborah.

00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:31.840
Hello, nice to meet you.

00:08:31.999 --> 00:08:32.760
- [Fidan] Nice to meet you too.

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.040
- [Deborah] Thank you.

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.120
- [Fidan] You are too cute.

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.999
When did you see
them the last time?

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:42.480
- Two weeks, three weeks.

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:44.520
Something like three weeks ago.

00:08:46.999 --> 00:08:48.360
- That's difficult, I saw
my baby for now one day,

00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:53.999
for the last time, and
I miss him already.

00:08:56.800 --> 00:08:57.240
(laughter)

00:08:57.400 --> 00:08:58.800
Yeah it's really hard,
three weeks, that's a lot.

00:09:01.760 --> 00:09:02.520
Don't you want to go home?

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.200
- [Deborah] I'd
like to come home.

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.999
- But now he has a camera.

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.240
That enables him to start
working as a journalist again.

00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:14.320
- Thank you so much, you
bought for him a camera?

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.400
- Yeah well.

00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:18.320
(laughter)

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:19.999
- Thank you so much.

00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:23.600
- I thought maybe you wouldn't
be that happy about it

00:09:26.999 --> 00:09:28.280
because it means he will
start filming risky events.

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:34.640
(laughs)

00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:36.999
And maybe everything, all
the trouble will start again.

00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:41.480
- I just pray to God that
it doesn't happen again.

00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:44.040
Because it is sometimes you
feel like, he's going out,

00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:48.999
so I have to pray for him,
he's going out everyday

00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:51.920
I have to pray for him,
for his protection.

00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:54.680
But, the problem is,
not even a problem,

00:09:57.560 --> 00:09:58.320
that is what his passion is.

00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.440
Even if you tell him
he can't do this,

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.480
you have passion for that.

00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:03.840
- [Fidan] You
accepted that he won't

00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:05.400
change his mind about that?

00:10:05.999 --> 00:10:07.040
- I don't think he
can change, for sure.

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:09.680
For what he has gone
through, he loves it.

00:10:12.999 --> 00:10:14.200
- [Fidan] Your children, your
eldest, how do they think

00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:16.320
about Ntege's job, the danger?

00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:20.640
- [Deborah] They're like
daddy will be killed one day.

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.000
(singing in foreign language)

00:10:27.999 --> 00:10:28.440
(dramatic music)

00:10:43.400 --> 00:10:43.999
(dramatic music)

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.080
- The people around this area
have land wrangle problems.

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.999
So as a journalist, these
are some of the stories

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:35.880
I would like to cover,

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:39.600
and to know what the
people's problems are.

00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:45.440
Then we air them out.

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.120
Maybe decision makers can come
to the rescue of the people.

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.999
- [Fidan] So you're
trying to help them?

00:11:58.040 --> 00:11:58.720
- [Ntege] Yes.

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.400
(upbeat traditional music)

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.120
(singing in foreign language)

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.000
- I just wanted to show you

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.240
how big the plantation is.

00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:12.400
This is just down that valley.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.600
You see down that valley.

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.080
And it moves up to that swamp.

00:13:18.999 --> 00:13:20.040
Those trees you see
are for the plantation.

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.560
- [Gerald] For the
tea plantation.

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.880
- [Ntege] Yes, 'cause
they use if for farm,

00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:25.480
so it's part of the
tea plantation project.

00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:29.760
- Has there more reporters
like Ntege who came

00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:32.520
here before to report
about the evictions?

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.400
- You're talking about
powerful individuals.

00:13:37.999 --> 00:13:39.000
Big companies that
have a lot of resources

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:41.999
and get a lot of support
from government power.

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:44.960
And trying to talk
about it you must be

00:13:45.999 --> 00:13:47.080
properly established,
or very courageous,

00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:49.120
or sure of your security.

00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:50.800
So, I have a strong belief
Ntege's the first journalist

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:54.999
to come here and report on this.

00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.320
- The first journalist?

00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:58.680
- Yes, he's the first
journalist to report.

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.600
- Gerald, I want to do
some interview with you.

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.880
And I'm going to give you
some equipment here to put on.

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.240
So, Gerald you're
going to briefly

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.600
tell me about this school.

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.999
And has the government come
out to give you career plans

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.440
of these peoples
in case this school

00:14:25.520 --> 00:14:26.640
is demolished for
tea plantation?

00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:28.920
- Unfortunately government
sides with the tea company

00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:31.999
because people have been
evicted from this piece of land,

00:14:33.880 --> 00:14:35.040
with the aid of police
without any court document.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.960
So, on the face of it government

00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:40.600
isn't supporting the
community, government isn't

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:43.880
supporting the school,
it's actually silently

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.000
supporting the tea company.

00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.480
To continue evicting and
the last thing would be

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.040
the school getting off.

00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:53.520
- [Ntege] When is the
demolishing starting

00:14:54.520 --> 00:14:55.120
according to government?

00:14:55.999 --> 00:14:56.920
- Government is,
like I told you,

00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:58.320
government is a silent actor,

00:14:58.999 --> 00:15:00.000
it's the tea company
that communicates.

00:15:00.999 --> 00:15:02.320
Now, the tea company,
considering past evictions

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.160
does not tell when
they're coming to evict.

00:15:07.999 --> 00:15:09.040
Actually what they do
is they ambush you.

00:15:10.999 --> 00:15:11.720
They surprise you.

00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:13.040
The case in point is they'll
come find some family

00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:16.680
at night, say round
10:00 in the evening,

00:15:18.280 --> 00:15:19.400
get you, tie you
up, handcuff you.

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.240
You, your children,
your grandmother,
everyone in the house.

00:15:24.999 --> 00:15:26.160
Put you outside, demolish,
and the next day,

00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:28.280
you will be nowhere.

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:29.240
(dramatic music)

00:15:48.999 --> 00:15:50.080
- Take us to the prison,
we go there, we quarrel,

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.240
they beat us, so we
are actually suffering.

00:17:08.999 --> 00:17:09.600
(soft music)

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.360
(soft music)

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:47.600
What do you need to finish your
story about these evictions?

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.560
- If I have time I can
also approach the kingdom

00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:55.560
to hear their view.

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.840
I have to reach the
kingdom spokesperson.

00:17:59.999 --> 00:18:01.040
- You can directly talk
to the Queen Mother?

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:03.999
- Even if I insist that
no I would like to talk

00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:06.440
to the Queen Mother
or the King himself.

00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:09.840
They will not allow.

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:11.999
- What do you think
about me trying

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.080
to reach Queen
Mother, you think?

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:16.320
- [Ntege] Maybe.

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:17.440
- You think that would work?

00:18:17.600 --> 00:18:18.640
- Maybe by the
fact of your color.

00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:20.040
(laughs)

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.560
You might be access or?

00:18:24.999 --> 00:18:25.880
- [Fidan] Can we try to get 'em?

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.200
- Yeah.

00:18:27.560 --> 00:18:28.000
We can, we can.

00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:44.720
(dramatic music)

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.080
- Excuse me where am I?

00:18:53.999 --> 00:18:55.080
We are in Fort Portal
now and we are coming

00:18:56.560 --> 00:18:57.160
to Kampala on Wednesday.

00:19:04.360 --> 00:19:05.120
I'll see you Wednesday 4:00.

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.999
See you Wednesday, bye.

00:19:14.999 --> 00:19:16.240
- I think I will get a
camera bag, I carry my camera

00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:18.440
in the bag, assisting you,
with all your gadgets.

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.680
Then in the middle of
interview, maybe when

00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.999
you are done, I'll also request
for an interview, politely.

00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:31.760
And I know they
may not hesitate.

00:19:38.040 --> 00:19:38.840
Good morning Paulina.

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.480
Yeah this is Ntege Williams,
your friend the journalist.

00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:06.520
- [Man] No I will not
give an interview my dear.

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:08.720
We will not do an interview,
we are not interested.

00:20:10.999 --> 00:20:11.600
(dial tone)

00:20:12.999 --> 00:20:13.480
(dramatic music)

00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:31.960
- I'm in the parky, I
think I've seen you.

00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:38.999
- I've seen you.

00:20:40.999 --> 00:20:42.040
So how about these
people complaining?

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.040
- [Ashok] Which complaint?

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.280
- [Ntege] These
tenants at Kijura Tea.

00:20:46.999 --> 00:20:47.680
I was there yesterday.

00:20:47.999 --> 00:20:49.040
- [Ashok] We don't
have any tenant.

00:20:50.520 --> 00:20:51.640
- [Ntege] So they
gave us their version.

00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:53.800
Kijura Tea Company these
guys are sending us away.

00:20:54.999 --> 00:20:56.280
- [Ashok] We are not
doing anything like that.

00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.880
We don't have any
tenant housing.

00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:00.840
- [Ntege] So you are
not evicting anyone?

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.975
- [Ashok] Oh no, not at all.

00:21:02.999 --> 00:21:04.280
- [Ntege] Because they
showed us that tea plantation

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:07.440
is surrounding that local
area, it's one square mile.

00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:10.999
It has a school,
it has a church.

00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:13.480
- [Ashok] No, no we don't
have anything like that.

00:21:14.999 --> 00:21:15.999
Somebody else company,
not Kijura Tea.

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:18.160
- Okay.

00:21:21.760 --> 00:21:22.200
(laughing)

00:21:23.520 --> 00:21:23.999
It's funny.

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:24.999
- [Fidan] But what did he say?

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.280
- He's telling me, he's
denying everything.

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.200
- I think this letter it
reads Kahuna Tea Estate.

00:21:56.760 --> 00:21:57.999
So where we were yesterday,
where I saw a school

00:21:59.999 --> 00:22:01.360
which is about to be
demolished, and a church,

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:04.160
is it the Toro Kahuna Tea Estate

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.400
that is surrounding that place?

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.680
- Yeah, what happened is
the Toro Kahuna Tea Estate

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.280
is Kijura Tea Estate.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.320
This is the old name
that was being used.

00:22:17.999 --> 00:22:18.720
The old brand name.

00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:20.560
Now it's Kijura Tea Estate.

00:22:21.999 --> 00:22:22.440
- Oh.

00:22:22.999 --> 00:22:23.320
- Yeah.

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:32.560
- So this is not your
letter because it's signed

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.000
by Abel Nsabimanana?

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:42.680
- The letter having
your signature.

00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:46.999
- But are there people likely
to be evicted any soon,

00:22:49.999 --> 00:22:50.360
anytime?

00:22:55.040 --> 00:22:56.200
- The company has
not evicted anybody?

00:22:56.360 --> 00:22:57.760
- [Abel] The company
won't be evicting anybody.

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:02.880
- So that means
the police is also

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:04.120
giving wrong information to me.

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:07.640
(laughs)

00:23:08.560 --> 00:23:09.999
Because even the police
referred me to Mr. Ashok,

00:23:12.999 --> 00:23:14.000
when I talk to Ashok,
Ashok told me you should

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.000
consult Abel Nsabimaana.

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:20.320
So you're all giving
different versions.

00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:24.040
(laughs)

00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:27.200
Mr. Nsabimaana?

00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:31.800
Hello?

00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:35.120
Hello?

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.080
(dial tone)

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.000
(laughs)

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:44.320
- You're good.

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:47.999
Wow.

00:23:50.999 --> 00:23:52.040
I'm jealous, you have
a great story here.

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.600
Aren't you afraid that
you will get in trouble?

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:11.400
The tea company
will send some guys

00:24:12.999 --> 00:24:13.760
to beat you up or anything?

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:16.040
Aren't you afraid?

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.320
- For me, me personally,
I know I can have ways

00:24:21.999 --> 00:24:23.280
of escaping, ways of hiding,
ways of, several ways

00:24:25.999 --> 00:24:26.999
of escaping from
the intimidation.

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:32.200
But the only worry I have
always is for my family.

00:24:38.040 --> 00:24:38.999
- [Fidan] Have a good journey.

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:39.800
- Thank you.

00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:40.999
- I'll see you in Kampala okay?

00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:41.960
Take care of yourself.

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.360
- Thank you.

00:24:43.560 --> 00:24:44.160
- [Fidan] See you soon.

00:24:44.520 --> 00:24:44.999
(dramatic music)

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:51.999
(dramatic music)

00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:21.360
And Ntege as an individual?

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:23.720
- He becomes more
vulnerable and just imagine

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.840
a situation occurring, a
security threat occurring.

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:33.999
Covering a story about the
very powerful tea company

00:25:37.800 --> 00:25:38.960
evicting people,
anything can happen.

00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:41.400
- What can happen?

00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:43.200
- Physical attacks,

00:25:45.320 --> 00:25:46.080
arrests, even physical killing,

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:50.200
you can also be charged from
charges that never occurred.

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.400
And if you're frumped
up it's as good as being

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.560
attacked physically because
you're incarcerated.

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.960
- [Fidan] You experienced that?

00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:05.240
- Yeah I did.

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:06.160
- [Fidan] You were attacked.

00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:07.120
- I was attacked broad daylight

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.560
after broadcasting
radio programs

00:26:11.320 --> 00:26:12.440
about evictions,
and I was attacked

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.000
in the middle of the town.

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:16.280
(dramatic music)

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.999
- After the second small
hump you'll move slowly.

00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:45.920
(dramatic music)

00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:49.720
So it was there.

00:26:50.999 --> 00:26:51.680
Just under that tree.

00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:54.200
(dramatic music)

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.960
Those ones there.

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.480
What would happen if I get out?

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.999
- I cannot guarantee
anything but most likely

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:09.520
they could be confrontational,
they can be abusive.

00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:12.960
- They could be abusive?

00:27:13.520 --> 00:27:13.999
- Yeah.

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:15.480
Most likely by this time
they are high on drugs.

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.880
Chance are high that they
are now high on drugs.

00:27:19.999 --> 00:27:20.760
Because they use drugs.

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.320
- That's different,
because then they

00:27:23.999 --> 00:27:25.080
could be aggressive
and attacking me.

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:27.480
- Yeah.

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:28.999
- It's broad daylight,
does that mean something?

00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:30.999
No?

00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:31.999
'Cause you, they beat you up.

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.120
- Yeah they attacked
me broad daylight.

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:36.200
- Let me think, let me think.

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.240
Hello.

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.720
(speaking foreign language)

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:02.560
Can I ask you something?

00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:04.920
Do you know TLC Radio?

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:07.120
Twerwaneho Listeners Club?

00:28:10.999 --> 00:28:11.760
But you know it right?

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.560
You don't like it?

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.960
Can I see your face please?

00:28:20.999 --> 00:28:22.040
You don't have to
look at me but.

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.560
This is my question.

00:28:30.560 --> 00:28:31.320
You won't kick a woman right?

00:28:42.520 --> 00:28:43.280
- You give me an answer first.

00:28:45.760 --> 00:28:46.920
Who paid you to beat up
my colleague in January?

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.999
(dramatic music)

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:52.999
My colleague at TLC Radio.

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:56.000
Twerwaneho Listeners Club.

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.600
Who gave you money
to beat him up?

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:04.000
Okay who knows then?

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.800
(dramatic music)

00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:09.000
They beat up my colleague in
January, you know about that?

00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:13.160
You know about that?

00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:19.280
(dramatic music)

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:46.800
- Good evening out there
listeners, I welcome you

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:48.999
to this wonderful program
from TLC in the studios

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.360
of 105.6 I have the
coordinator, Gerald.

00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:56.440
He's already in the studios.

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.240
- [Female Caller] Hello.

00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:25.240
(dramatic music)

00:30:50.999 --> 00:30:51.560
(dramatic music)

00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:37.040
But if we do it like this
wouldn't you get in trouble?

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.320
- No, no, no, no, if she

00:31:40.999 --> 00:31:41.999
- [Fidan] Knows
that you're coming?

00:31:42.040 --> 00:31:43.440
- If she accepts to talk to me,
that is not trouble anymore.

00:31:47.040 --> 00:31:47.999
- So you're okay with this?

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.999
- [Ntege] Yeah, it's okay.

00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.800
- Okay give me two minutes,
let me talk to Fidan,

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.520
then I'll call you back.

00:32:09.999 --> 00:32:10.840
Who had fixed the appointment?

00:32:12.999 --> 00:32:13.400
You?

00:32:13.760 --> 00:32:14.200
- Mm hmm.

00:32:15.800 --> 00:32:16.400
We spoke to them before.

00:32:16.999 --> 00:32:18.200
- [Ntege] Do you think
they have a feeling about

00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:20.920
that we are not?

00:32:20.999 --> 00:32:22.040
- That's the question
I get, that probably,

00:32:23.560 --> 00:32:24.720
the subject matter
could have leaked.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:48.320
- [Ntege] Then we
shall show the TST.

00:32:48.999 --> 00:32:49.720
- [Editor] The TST?

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.720
- [Ntege] Yes these green ones.

00:32:59.120 --> 00:33:00.600
When a reporter comes up
with a controversial story

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:04.000
that might cause
trouble, what do you do?

00:33:05.520 --> 00:33:06.600
- We do two things,
either we do two things.

00:33:07.800 --> 00:33:09.040
Either we tone it down,
meaning that we may choose

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.999
to air part of it and
not the whole of it.

00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:17.320
Or if we can't do
that we drop it.

00:33:19.520 --> 00:33:19.999
We leave it.

00:33:20.360 --> 00:33:21.480
- [Fidan] And a part
of it means censored.

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.520
The censored version
will be aired.

00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:24.840
- Yes, we don't tell
the whole story.

00:33:26.560 --> 00:33:27.640
- [Fidan] Do you feel
guilty about that?

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:31.600
- Yeah, from the
professional point of view,

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:34.600
yes, there is a lot of guilt.

00:33:35.760 --> 00:33:36.920
There's a lot where
you feel the public

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:39.840
has got to know the
truth, the real truth.

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.999
- What happen here
when you have a story

00:33:53.280 --> 00:33:54.440
and that story is likely
to reveal certain things

00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:58.360
that maybe are likely
to call embarrassment

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:03.240
to some official or
someone important,

00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:08.400
and then you get
this phone call.

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:10.560
And the phone call will
tell you please don't.

00:34:12.999 --> 00:34:14.040
Obviously it will not be
on paper so you cannot

00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:16.160
repeat it in a court of
law, you cannot use it

00:34:18.640 --> 00:34:19.240
to protect yourself.

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.480
But you just have to
make a judgment and say

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.999
should I go against this
advice, or should I not?

00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:26.560
And just have to
make a decision which

00:34:29.120 --> 00:34:30.560
is in the best interest of
your surviving next day.

00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:35.800
- [Fidan] Surviving next
day you mean physically,

00:34:38.160 --> 00:34:38.960
or for your media house?

00:34:40.080 --> 00:34:41.160
- Both as an individual
and as a media house

00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:44.760
because you never, you can
never tell what can come.

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:47.999
(singing)

00:34:59.360 --> 00:34:59.999
(yelling)

00:35:01.520 --> 00:35:02.920
- I'm a journalist by
profession, and I survive

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.080
by my profession.

00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:06.800
(yelling)

00:35:09.640 --> 00:35:10.080
(dramatic music)

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.200
(yelling)

00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:31.720
- Hello.

00:35:33.560 --> 00:35:34.000
Too cute.

00:35:41.120 --> 00:35:41.920
Nice to see you here.

00:35:42.600 --> 00:35:43.200
- Nice to see you too.

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:44.120
- Nice to see you back home.

00:35:45.080 --> 00:35:45.560
(laughs)

00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:52.960
Ntege is a lot with
us during the day,

00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:55.240
so difficult to be
alone with children,

00:35:57.999 --> 00:35:58.600
can you manage?

00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:59.480
- I try.

00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:00.999
But it's not easy.

00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.200
And sometimes when people
are not around because most

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:05.320
of the people here
work, so I have to

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.600
lock myself inside the
house with my kids.

00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:10.999
- [Fidan] Why?

00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:12.240
- Because I feel I'm unsafe.

00:36:14.999 --> 00:36:15.480
(market chatter)

00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:26.080
- [Fidan] So you said you
that you lock yourself inside

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.520
when you're alone
because you're afraid.

00:36:31.240 --> 00:36:32.320
I was wondering how
far can Ntege go

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:35.040
before you say now it's enough?

00:36:37.160 --> 00:36:37.960
You know it's enough,

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:40.440
quit this profession
or I'm leaving.

00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:43.000
How far can he go?

00:36:43.200 --> 00:36:44.600
- I told him to leave that
profession but for him

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:47.360
that's the passion he
has for that profession.

00:36:49.040 --> 00:36:50.200
I told him why don't
you quit journalism?

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:52.999
He said oh, me I'm a journalist,
I want to be top grade.

00:36:56.240 --> 00:36:57.200
- It's non negotiable
with Ntege.

00:36:58.720 --> 00:36:59.840
- With his profession
you can't negotiate.

00:37:00.080 --> 00:37:01.480
At least to live some
other country so at least

00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:04.360
I can be safe
there with my kids.

00:37:05.640 --> 00:37:06.400
- He doesn't want to go to

00:37:07.600 --> 00:37:08.200
- Other countries.

00:37:08.600 --> 00:37:09.200
- Other countries.

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:10.480
- Yeah, I told him
I'll leave him.

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.080
- [Fidan] You would
leave him if he?

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:13.400
- What about my kids,

00:37:14.999 --> 00:37:15.440
my own?

00:37:15.600 --> 00:37:16.360
- He thinks he can protect you.

00:37:16.520 --> 00:37:17.920
- But he has no protection
anyway, he has no protection,

00:37:20.999 --> 00:37:21.480
he's not a God.

00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:25.400
- [Man] Ntege are you ready?

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:28.080
- Yeah I got to put this in.

00:37:55.999 --> 00:37:57.280
I think we have enough unless
you want to ask something?

00:38:00.120 --> 00:38:00.600
- Yeah.

00:38:03.640 --> 00:38:04.680
Prime Minister I'm
introducing myself again

00:38:08.040 --> 00:38:08.840
I am Ntege Williams.

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:10.880
A local journalist, but I
try to help these people

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:13.680
move it around, turn it around.

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:16.760
When we reached Kahuna
Village that is surrounded

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:21.600
by the Kijura Tea Plantation,

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:25.999
many people came to us,

00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:28.000
running to us, please you can
help us hear out our voices.

00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:33.880
We are being evicted.

00:38:33.999 --> 00:38:35.200
So the police say total kingdom
must be knowing the truth

00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:41.440
about the tea estates
and the tenants.

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:44.840
And they're responsible for
those people who are crying.

00:38:48.999 --> 00:38:50.360
- And did you talk to
Ashok, the one called Ashok.

00:38:53.999 --> 00:38:54.360
- Yes.

00:38:54.520 --> 00:38:55.600
- [Prime Minister]
Is he Ugandan?

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.360
- He's an Indian.

00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:57.880
- Those are the people
who leased the land,

00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:00.600
and they asked it
from the kingdom.

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.560
And that one now he
doesn't call back to us.

00:39:05.999 --> 00:39:07.360
Because the property now does
not belong to the kingdom.

00:39:09.999 --> 00:39:10.680
- [Ntege] You leased it.

00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:11.999
- We leased it so we
do not have anything

00:39:12.999 --> 00:39:13.880
to do with the evictions.

00:39:14.560 --> 00:39:15.960
- So don't you have a mechanism
of protecting your subjects?

00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:19.480
Because those people now
belong to Tooro Kingdom.

00:39:22.200 --> 00:39:23.600
- Nobody has contacted
our office, in particular

00:39:26.160 --> 00:39:27.560
my office as the Prime
Minister, but here we are,

00:39:29.640 --> 00:39:30.999
people are chasing us, so
sincerely as far as I know

00:39:35.999 --> 00:39:37.400
nobody has come from Kingdom
to go and evict anybody.

00:39:43.160 --> 00:39:44.280
So whoever is doing it
is doing it on his own.

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:49.000
Not from the kingdom.

00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:50.999
- Not from the kingdom.

00:39:51.640 --> 00:39:52.240
- That's our stand.

00:39:55.600 --> 00:39:56.040
- Any question?

00:39:56.200 --> 00:39:57.240
- I have none,
thank you very much.

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:59.360
- You're welcome.

00:39:59.520 --> 00:40:00.640
- [Fidan] Thank
you for your time.

00:40:01.640 --> 00:40:02.080
Thank you.

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:06.280
- I just want to.

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:07.999
(soft music)

00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:19.600
Everyone is denying, the
police is denying the eviction.

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.440
The investor is denying the
eviction, and the kingdom

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:27.440
is denying the eviction.

00:40:28.999 --> 00:40:29.480
(soft music)

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:45.200
- That camera is better for you.

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:55.680
(soft music)

00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:19.520
(upbeat traditional music)

00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:22.360
(speaking foreign language)
