In the heart of Kintale, Uganda, a group of young visionaries are transforming the world of fashion, one garment at a time.

This short documentary takes you on a journey through the streets of Uganda, where creativity meets sustainability in the most unexpected ways. Witness how Texus and his friends breathe new life into discarded clothing from Europe, China, and beyond. Armed with nothing but their imagination and skillful hands, they turn secondhand garments into stunning, original pieces that rival top fashion designs. But this isn’t just about clothes. It’s a story of empowerment, community, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Watch as these young designers tackle challenges head-on, from the lack of quality local fabrics to the stigma surrounding used clothing. Through their upcycling initiative, BANAKIBUGA, Texus and his team are not only creating fashion-forward pieces but also fostering a culture of sharing, learning, and growth. Their mission goes beyond profit – it’s about passing on knowledge, inspiring the next generation, and proving that with creativity and determination, anything is possible.
