In a remote lake of Uganda, girls who were getting pregnant before marriage were abandoned on the tiny island of Akampene, aka Punishment Island. Here most died, but some were saved by men in search of free brides. Laura Cini, an Italian filmmaker, went to the area on 2011 to look for survivors. The mission was successful and now she completed a hour documentary on the story which was supported by crowdfunders and the Italian Ministry of Culture. Premiering soon.

Punishment Island, by Comfort Abemigisha
This is an example of the drawings that will be used in the documentary to illustrate the tragic events that took place in Akampene. Comfort Abemigisha, Ugandan young emerging artist, living in Kampala and author of this drawing, will take care of the art work.
