Plot: “N.G.O: Nothing Going On” (Written and Directed by Arnold Aganze) Zizuke and Tevo have lost faith in their dreams, until the day Tevo meets Elisabeth, the long awaited American tourist, and makes her believe he runs an N.G.O that saves poor African children. The two friends are then pulled into a string of lies that bring them money and lots of trouble.
Background: “N.G.O” was filmed in late 2015 and produced with only $3,000, invested by Boutiq Foundation, an output driven arts and culture incubator based in Kampala. All crew volunteered and co-produced the film, led by production houses Jaja Productions and Stone Age Pictures. Through his creativity, artistic vision and resilience, Aganze has and continues to inspire a whole new generation of African filmmakers.
