We are thrilled to share that our docu, “ATEKER South Sudan,” has been awarded “Best Documentary” at the Pearl International Film Festival (PIFF)!
The Pearl International Film Festival
The Pearl International Film Festival (PIFF), returning after a one-year hiatus, concluded its tenth edition in style with an awards gala at Theatre La Bonita in Kampala on November 25, 2023.
The festival director disclosed that during the judging process, his team considered various aspects such as picture quality, texture, movement, creativity, originality, sound composition, and overall quality.
Ateker Documentary
The docu shares a moving journey across borders to reunite the Ateker people of Karamoja in Uganda with those in South Sudan. A journey of creating unity and sharing opportunities to prosper as one people.
The Ateker, a diverse group with a shared ancestry dating back 1,000 years in the Karamoja region of Uganda, have established communities across Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. Despite geographical dispersion, they maintain strong cultural ties through shared practices, traditions, and language. While facing various challenges, their sense of identity and community remains powerful.
Ateker Documentary was filmed and produced by Edmond Tamale from Uganda during a trip organised by Kara-Tunga Tours. Learn more at www.kara-tunga.com/ateker
Kidepo Valley invited Kara-Tunga for regional radio talkshow in Karamoja (Ateker FM). The talkshow highlighted tourism development and the importance of capacity building with the Karamoja Tourism Academy.
Near Moroto we privately had a traditional Karamojong village tour with a local guide. Normally, I don’t like village tours, but this was better than expected and pure.
The highly anticipated road constructions connecting Kenya to South Sudan through Turkana county is coming to an end. The locals of Kakuma town in Turkana county are excited about the development that will drastically increase their mobility and connection to neighbouring countries.
