Originally produced by New Day Films in 2010.
In this mesmerizing, poetic journey through contemporary Uganda, award-winning filmmaker Kimi Takesue travels through the vibrant streets of Kampala to the rural quiet of Hope North, a refuge and school for survivors of civil war. Filmed in a vivid observational style, the documentary offers fascinating glimpses of everyday life in Uganda, including a high-society wedding, a movie shoot, a women’s weightlifting competition, and a vee-jay translating a Bruce Lee film. WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME? explores the interplay between the observer and the observed and questions notions of the familiar and the “exotic.” By interrogating the outsider’s gaze, this memorable documentary confronts the challenges of cross-cultural representation.
