Ugandan Away

Amazingly beautiful, haunting and magical. If you love subtlety in your story telling and visually appealing audio storytelling, definitely give this a listen. The subtle horror of urban Kampala living when one is atomised speaks to the isolation of many African youths surviving the world they were given. The narrator successfully manages to convey that loneliness and fear against a backdrop of otherworldly and very worldly dangers in Kampala and its outlying boroughs. Amazing!
