    Story

    A musical journey of resilience and hope, that celebrates the power of music to transform lives.

    ‘TOPOWA!’ is the inspirational story of 12 talented young musicians, many of whom grew up as street children in some of the toughest slums in Uganda. From the dusty dirt roads of the Katwe slum, to the iconic Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, and a residency at the world-famous Cheltenham Music Festival. The film follows Julius, Sumayya, Tadeo, Gilbert and the Brass for Africa musicians as they are welcomed to the UK for an unforgettable experience that will transform their lives forever and empower the next generation of musicians to follow their dreams - 'TOPOWA! Never give up!’

    We have now finished filming with a huge effort and lots of favours from friends, but now we need your help to bring it to the screen. This film will showcase these amazing musicians but also be a powerful tool for Brass for Africa, raising awareness through festival entires around the world.

    Empower them and empower us by helping to make this film possible and show the world: if you never give up, you really can turn your dreams into reality.

      We've had some amazing responses from festivals all around the world this year and some incredibly special moments at Raindance, Berlin, Melbourne and in particular at the 45th Cleveland Film Festival, where the documentary not only won an award but was used as an educational film in schools throughout the festival. See below the official festivals coming up which include California’s 22nd Newport Beach Film Fest and Germany’s Unabhängiges FilmFest in Osnabrück!...
