Elliott's River
08/11/09 18:36
When we were in Uganda in 2008, working on our previous Nile film project, we met and filmed a short sequence with a guy called Elliot who lived in a small squatters village below the hydro-electric dam at Jinja.
We were keen to try and catch up with Elliot for this new film and find out more about his life. Elliot and all the families in his community are completely dependent on the Nile. The fish that Elliot catches in his boat (which he was fixing when we found him) feeds his family and any excess catch is sold for a few shillings.

Nile Basin countries like Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have developed strong flower and vegetable export businesses, generating millions of dollars in foreign revenues for the local economies. In Uganda, the flower business has developed near Lake Victoria and is worth $40 million to the Ugandan economy.
We visited the Fiduga flower farm about 45 minutes outside Kampala which employs over 400 staff. Here is a brief edit from some of the stuff we shot.
We’re moving up to Mbale tomorrow to shoot a story about coffee.
More later.
