Come on, let's go.
:33:04
It's easy to be king of Kampala.
:33:08
Big fish in a little pond.
:33:11
Why don't you try to be
king of London?

:33:15
Or king of Bombay.
:33:17
Because I was born here!
:33:20
I've always been Ugandan first,
Indian second.

:33:23
I've been called a bootlicker
and a traitor by my fellow Indians.

:33:30
Okelo...
:33:36
...Uganda is my home.
:33:38
Not anymore, Jay.
:33:43
Africa is for Africans.
:33:47
Black Africans.
:33:55
Do you know why we left Uganda?
:34:02
Do you?
:34:05
They put you in jail.
:34:12
After 34 years,
my brother Okelo told me:

:34:16
"Africa is for Africans.
:34:18
Black Africans."
:34:22
After 34 years,
that's what it all came down to.

:34:26
The color of my skin.
:34:31
That's why we left.
:34:35
Not because of Idi Amin
or anything like that.

:34:39
Mina.
:34:42
Believe me.
I'm speaking from experience.

:34:46
People stick to their own kind.
:34:49
You are forced to accept that
when you grow older.

:34:52
I'm only trying to spare you the pain.
:34:55
Okelo risked his life to save yours.
:34:58
I don't know what more proof
you could have of his love.
