Who Killed Captain Alex is an action movie produced in Wakaliwood, an ultra low-budget studio in Kampala, Uganda.[1] Production began in late 2009 in the ghettos of Nateete. Filmmaker Nabwana Isaac Godfrey Geoffrey[2] was inspired by Hong Kong action films, and also Hollywood action movies. The movie trailer was released on YouTube in January 2010, and has been viewed 2.4 million times,[3] while the movie has been viewed 240,000 times on YouTube.[4]

In Uganda, audiences go to video halls where VJs narrate over a feature film, translating the dialogue and adding their own commentary[5] - making low budget films with VJ commentary like cult films. A version of Who Killed Captain Alex? released online includes an English VJ commentary that adds in running gags about the characters.
