Unfolding against the backdrop of contemporary Uganda, the docudrama “Divizionz” follows four young men and women from the poor Kampala suburbs, bound together by a passionate desire to succeed in the music business. The unwritten rules of the city’s ‘divizionz’, however, can lead unwitting guests down dead-end roads. The protagonists are suddenly confronted by hitherto unknown conflicts in which their relationships with one another vie for the upper hand with the phantoms of personal success. The key factor in this documentary is the authenticity with which the slums are portrayed and the use of local non-actors. The film does not need guns to evoke drama – the threat to the protagonists’ plan is dramatic enough. The film shows slums consumed by infighting, the roots of which lie not in the established hierarchy, but in sheer human rivalry. Urban, colourful, with hip-hop drive and ghetto spirit.
