Movie Review : The Girl in The Yellow Jumper.

Dorothy, a Medical officer attends to a 12-year-girl old

rushed to the hospital after a  botched abortion. Before
the child dies, she names the paedophile who also
went ahead to attempt the abortion. The Medical
officer and a buddy abduct a suspected paedophile
from his mother's house. They plan to extra a
confession but things escalate so fast. They bury him
alive, unexpectedly, he gets out and shoots the medical
officer.

A movie shouting impunity, mob justice, child sexual

abuse and torture in Uganda. It is one of the few
Ugandan movies that have got it right on scenes,
sound, lighting timing and characters. You would
rightly say that 27 guns should have a  remake and
borrow some scenes and actors.  I have watched it
more than 10 times.

The Movie that features prominent musician Maurice

Kirya as a police officer, celebrates everything in
Uganda. Our culture and history. It reminded me about
growing up, how special we are as Ugandans and what we believe in. Ugandan Superstitions are loud in
all scenes like the Owl. We all know that  Owls in Uganda are a symbol of death. When it shows up or
makes any sound, there is a belief that someone will die.

The writer is able to run two parallel storylines. The one of the Cigarette Butt serial Killer and that of a
Paedophile. Maybe it should have been given more time. I want suspense, but in the scene of a
paedophile getting out of the grave to shoot the medical officer, there was a disconnect. If you are a fan
of Philip Lutaya, Micheal Wawuyo jr, and Maurice Kirya.It is worth all your time.
