Full Plot Details

A high society wedding, bustling city streets, a center for former child soldiers, a nightclub full of music and laughter: these are the many faces of today's Uganda, as wonderfully captured by filmmaker Kimi Takesue. Whether exploring the pulsating energy of the city or contemplating quiet moments in the country, her artful camera compositions and the lyrical pacing of the film allow us to truly engage and process the foreign land on our own terms. Documenting Uganda while it deals with day-to-day realities and the aftermath of its civil wars, Takesue, well aware of her perspective as an outsider, strives for simple, unadorned honesty. Employing a largely observational style, Takesue allows the sight and sounds-and the people-of Uganda to speak for themselves. Usually the people she records simply ignore the camera, but when someone does engage-whether it's a group of school children clamoring for their moment in front of the lens or a young man asking the title question-the barriers between filmmaker, subject, and audience give way for breathtaking cinematic epiphanies.

Movie Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by Peter RainerBy holding the shot, as she so often does in this film, Takesue is encouraging audiences to take a deep, long look at things they might otherwise miss.
Time Out - 8/10 by Eric HynesThe only time a subject directly addresses Takesue, it's with a doozy of a query: "Why are you taking my story to USA, New York?" The answer is as complex as the film itself, and as simple as deciding to not look away.
The New York Times - 7/10 by David DeWittThough it eventually includes landscape and wildlife, Where Are You Taking Me? is no survey of Uganda; it's too quiet, slow and personal for that. But the film is an unusual, visually rich visit to the nation.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Kalvin HenelyThe documentary revels in the simple joys of finding something that captures the eye and paying attention to it.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Benjamin MercerTakesue doesn't presume to tell anyone's story for him or her, but rather lets the activity on-screen speak for itself.
User Review - 8/10 by Alex BA documentary about the daily Ugandan life, it is both a poetic and intimate look into its people and culture. Wonderfully produced film.
