Ghetto Heroes

  • Director
    Gianfrancesco Peretti

Shot over one intense week in August 2025, this reportage moves through Kampala’s ghettos. Moving through narrow alleys at dawn and dusk, it captures a world of heroes, shaped by poverty, resilience, and human connection. Among them, Gillian and Natasha, sex workers molded by inequality, whose lives reveal strength, vulnerability, and complexity beyond stigma. In overcrowded streets marked by poverty and risk, community endures. These images reject victimhood, honoring dignity and strength in places too often unseen, where everyday survival becomes an act of quiet heroism.
