Tembele a film by Morris Mugisha won best feature film in UFF this year, it will be premiering this 7th August at Alliance Française de Kampala.

Mental illness is a form of hidden disability. Individuals may be dealing with depression, Schizophrenia, PTSD, anxiety or panic disorder, or a number of other conditions that make it difficult to cope with additional stressors.

Tembele film labours to expose the fact that people that we live with need help. People with mental illness and other hidden disabilities need our emotional support just the same as people with a physical illness or disability do.

And the funny thing is, in most instances, having someone listen and validate their concerns is really all that’s needed.
