14 of 14 · most liked firstAnother amazing fact about this video is that the dancer in the red pants is Moses Bwayo, the Oscar-winning director of the documentary 'Bobi Wine: The People's President.' I worked with Moses and Zohran on Mira Nair's film 'Queen Of Katwe.' I had an extraordinary time in Kampala with those guys.
