The African Creative Disney Couldn’t Ignore

From a pencil and sketchbook in Uganda to creating Disney’s first African sci-fi series, Hamid Ibrahim’s journey is nothing short of remarkable.In this episode of The Black Circle Podcast, I sit down with Hamid Emmy-nominated filmmaker, CEO of Kugali, and one of the leading voices in African storytelling. We talk about his early years in Uganda and Kenya, the culture shock of moving to the UK, breaking into Hollywood with films like The Lion King remake, and why he walked away from that world to co-found Kugali.
