Imani is a 2010 Ugandan drama film written and directed by Caroline Kamya. The film explores the challenges and complexities of life in post-conflict northern Uganda, particularly focusing on the psychological and social aftermath of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency.[1][2]

The film takes place during a normal day in the Ugandan capital Kampala and Gulu. For three people however, this will be no ordinary one. Mary, who works in the house of an upper class lady, faces serious difficulties when she has no choice but to pay a bribe to save her sister from the clutches of the police. 12-year-old Olweny, a former child soldier, leaves the rehabilitation center to return to his parents' village, destroyed by the war and break-dancer Armstrong has to put together a performance due to take place that same evening.[3]
