The music docu drama 'Bwana Jogoo: the ballad of Jessy Gitta' tells the story of Jessy Gitta Kasirivu, a well known Ugandan musician, who, in the early morning of August 4, 1974, gets violently arrested and killed by Idi Amin's infamous State Research Bureau (SRB) agents over a woman they both love. At the centre of Bwana Jogoo is a love triangle between Jessy Gitta, president Idi Amin and Sarah 'Suicide' Kyolaba, a then 19 year old go-go dancer. Jessy Gitta is Sarah's lover when Amin also starts going after her. With deadly consequences. Fellow musicians, family members, Amin associates and analysts are piecing the deadly puzzle together of this unresolved murder mystery. Bwana Jogoo unravels a dramatic love story under a misogynist intimidating political constellation.
