Highlights from Hollywood at Home featuring Bobi Wine & Moses Bwayo:
Bobi Wine on Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Arnold Schwarzenegger: “Guys like Bob Marley…[and] Muhammad Ali…I kept imagining – what if Bob Marley went into leadership, and actually…effected the things that he cried out for in his music? What if Muhammad Ali with all that star power, and all the support, what if he ran for political office? What if Malcolm X did– what if Martin Luther King did, but they never did…I was inspired by people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who actually went from acting to doing it…So I thought that we could transform this power, from just saying the right things, to doing the right things.”
When Bobi Wine’s wife went all-in on the revolution: “My wife thought I was becoming too radical [then]…when I was kidnapped by the military – tortured so bad, my driver killed. My wife came and visited me in military prison and saw how much they tortured me. She suddenly said, ‘You know what? From today, I am in. This has got to end.’”
Bwayo on the most challenging moment during filming: “When Bobi and [his wife] Barbie were placed under house arrest, we kind of knew something bad was going to happen around the election…It’s, like, imminent danger that…something could go wrong…mentally, it was just a very scary place to be.”
