The Ugandan film made headlines in 2020
after its director pranked Ugandans with a collection of trailer clips tagged
as its leaked version.
The feature film went viral after what fans
expected was the original version of the film leaked days to its premiere, will
debut on the streamer on Christmas day.
Produced and directed by Loukman Ali, the 2020
thriller follows the story of a man who escapes a hostage situation and returns
home with a story to tell.
The movie stars Rehema Nanfuka, Philip Luswata, Michael Wawuyo Jr., Michael Wawuyo, Gladys Oyenbot and Maurice Kirya.
Originally set for theatrical release in
Kampala in April 2020, ‘The Girl in the Yellow Jumper’ was forced on hold due
to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Shortly after its delayed release, the
film’s production company announced an online premiere and days to the
scheduled premiere, it supposedly leaked on YouTube.
Unfortunately for eager fans, the leak
turned out to be a prank as Ali released a version of trailer clips tagging it
the film’s leaked version.
‘The Girl in the Yellow Jumper’ was shot in Northern Uganda in 2018.
