EAVA Artists-Documentry and storytelling
Video Collection
At EAVA Artists, we use documentary film and storytelling to make human rights issues visible, personal, and impossible to ignore. We capture real stories — from the streets, communities, and frontlines — to document truth, preserve memory, and inspire action. Our films are not just about recording events; they are tools for advocacy, education, and mobilization. By combining powerful visuals with authentic voices, we bridge the gap between lived experience and public understanding, turning complex issues like climate justice, inclusion, and freedom of expression into narratives that move hearts and shape change.
Life on the Street
“Life on the Street” is a powerful documentary by EAVA Artists that sheds light on the lives of sex workers in Uganda. It highlights their crucial role on the frontlines of fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis — work often overlooked or unrecognised. The film also confronts the harsh realities sex workers face, from stigma and violence to legal barriers and lack of healthcare access. Through intimate storytelling, “Life on the Street” amplifies their voices, challenges harmful stereotypes, and calls for a rights-based approach that recognises sex workers as key partners in public health and human rights.
Plastic Curse
Plastic Curse" is a documentary that confronts us with the dual challenge of climate change and our shared responsibility in causing it. It delves into how humans—through widespread plastic consumption and disposal—have contributed to environmental degradation, framing plastic pollution not merely as a waste issue, but as a moral and systemic crisis challenging our planet's future. In Uganda, where communities face myriad climate pressures—from flooding to heat stress—plastic pollution exacerbates both environmental and social vulnerabilities. At EAVA Artists, we engage with this reality through our lens of climate justice. We document the intersections between plastic waste, environmental harm, and community resilience—using visuals, stories, and public art to bring this “hidden crisis” into the open. Our work emphasizes that combating plastic pollution isn't just about recycling or cleanups. It’s about demanding structural change—reimagining production cycles, waste policies, and consumption patterns. By giving voice to those most affected, we inspire collective action and accountability, ensuring that climate justice means inclusivity, dignity, and sustainability for all.
Silent Disease
Drug and substance abuse is a growing but often hidden crisis in Uganda. It cuts across age, gender, and social class, yet remains shrouded in stigma, fear, and silence. Behind the statistics are human stories — young people losing futures, families breaking apart, and communities struggling with addiction’s ripple effects. EAVA Artists documents this reality through film, photography, and public dialogue, giving voice to those affected and challenging the narratives that fuel shame instead of solutions. By making the invisible visible, we push for compassion, better policies, and community-driven interventions to address this silent epidemic.
In the Eyes of a Pandemic
In the Eyes of a Pandemic is a documentaryproduced by EAVA Artists during the height of COVID-19 in Uganda. Through intimate visual storytelling and firsthand testimonies, it captures the human face of the pandemic—spotlighting how marginalised communities, informal workers, and low-income families, faced disproportionate hardships. The film goes beyond charts and headlines, revealing resilience, empathy, and creativity in the face of crisis. It reflects EAVA Artists’ commitment to using storytelling as a form of solidarity and advocacy—ensuring that even amidst global disruption, the voices of the most excluded are not only seen, but remembered and acted upon.
