IOB alumni Gerald Bareebe (GOV, 2011), Rose Nambooze (GLOB, 2010), former
IOB staff member Inge Wagemakers and Luk Dewulf (director) jointly made an
investigative documentary ‘Mercy Killing’. The documentary captures stories of
Ugandan parents struggling with the efforts and sacrifices related to caring for their
disabled child. They share the stories of desperate parents who could not manage it
anymore and killed their own child (a practice called ‘mercy killing’). The documentary
was broadcast on Belgian and Ugandan national television and is being shown in
several movie theatres in Flanders.
