Crazy World

description

The latest Wakaliwood release, CRAZY WORLD is a violent action-packed Ugandan film about a gang of child-snatching mobsters called the Tiger Mafia. Operating under the belief that youth blood has supernatural properties, the Tiger Mafia develops a plan to sacrifice children as a scheme to get their blood. But when they kidnap the WAKA STARS, a badass team of kung-fu masters, the mafia is no match for the kids’ cunning wits and deadly skills.
