Samanya 40 days is an interesting take on the life of a policeman fighting crime. There are quite a number of references to the pioneering work of Wakaliwood’s Ramon Film Production (and the Wakastars who are now all grown up) which made films like Who Killed Captain Alex, Million Dollar Kid and Ani Mulalu (who is the crazy one). RFP became popular a few years ago and was referred to as Uganda’s Quentin Tarantino.
Samanya is a story revolving around a young officer rising in the ranks of his crime fighting unit and the challenges that he and his family face. There are really several plots in one and quite a number of characters and a span of time that is a breath of fresh air at least in terms of film style. The writter who also stars in the film tackles a number of themes such as child abuse, tragedy, corruption, torchure, fate, the interconnectedness of life and much more. To be fair i felt like there was a lot more that could have emerged from this film. Maybe the writter and director (Segawa Abbey) can be approached to expand the story and add multiple authors as do other production studios. Also starring in this story are Mugera Godfrey, Jackie Tumusime, Ramc Tabu, Nyanzi Liz and
Ssozi Patrick.
