Meet Uganda's talented Video Jockeys who bring movies to life in Luganda

About Our VJ Translators

A VJ (Video Jockey) is a Ugandan commentator who narrates over the original audio of a movie or series, translating dialogue into Luganda while adding context, jokes, and cultural commentary in real time. This style of translation grew out of Kampala's video halls, where a live VJ would narrate films for the audience, and it has since become one of Uganda's most popular ways to watch foreign movies and shows.

Every title on Unruly Movies credits the VJ who translated it, so you can discover translators whose style you enjoy and follow their work across multiple movies and series. Below are some of the VJs featured on the platform:
