OMUWENDO Short Film

Aganza Kisaka superbly adapts "The Ninny" By Anton Chekhov for Ugandan Audiences. Omwendo is a tense negotiation between an employer, Irene and her house-maid, Sylvia who eagerly awaits her monthly pay. This short film explores power dynamics, mindsets, coercion, manipulation and attitudes that exist between classes. Omuwendo loosely translates to "Worth" which begs the question of self-worth, identity and agency.
Inspired by the short spanish film, P-NDEJA by Sebastian Torres

At first I was very pissed how big madam is stealing kadaamaz money and how the kadaama reacted by spitting into the juice but the final end was superb ,

[@Angellahangel]

Akasosi 😂😂 wabula madam Laura 😂😂

[@muganziizaac9608]

It’s really interesting how that maid could be pretending a good girl so if she had not seen the notes in the envelope meaning madam was to take sips of her spits
well done the director it’s educative.

I enjoyed how we associate money with the value of respect to expect and to give and the honesty around it.

[@SsentumbweKabuuza]

Love the reversal... and twist! And how that money demonstrates she's worth much more than she bargained for. Congratulations to Aganza and team.

One song comes to mind! Get up stand up...stand up for your rights. We leave in a society where we're largely taught to be sheepish and not fight for what is rightfully ours. Great message on this project Yenze! Keep cooking!
