Fate was a 2006 Ugandan drama feature film directed by Cindy Magara. It was "the first Kinna-Uganda directed by a woman".[1] The film tells the story of Kate Komuntale, a corporate executive in her thirties who becomes infected with HIV after marrying Ken Bagonzo, a charming but philandering intelligence officer.[2]
Fate was a low-budget, privately produced film.[3] At the time, Magara was a student at Makerere University. Magara gained knowledge and tools to make the movie at Cine Club, a monthly Kampala film forum. She also travelled to Nairobi to find professional help, organizing workshops there to develop the professional skills of her cast and crew.[1] Without government support, she raised money from family, friends and a bank loan.[3] The movie premiered at Hotel Africana on July 30, 2006.[1] It was also shown at the Zanzibar International Film Festival.
