Summary:

Ekisil is a story telling film but it is also corroborated by a succinct commentary meant to help the viewer to understand a very important part of life, culture and values of the Karimojong people. The film tells us about the power of friendship between Ikole a Bokora, Lokol, a Matheniko and someone who is considered a foreigner within his own land for not having abided entirely to the cultural values of his tribe. It is a friendly power that goes over tribal differences and cultural values since they save reciprocally their lives from the violence of tribal conflicts. This film has been realized by Giovanni Dall’Oglio, an Italian medical doctor working in Karamoja together with Karimojongs having at heart the wellbeing of Karamoja.
