Three Killings in Kampala, Uganda - BBC Africa Eye documentary

Impressive, very commendable forensic journalism. I could not watch this video to the end. I am afraid, BBC has overdone it here showing the killing or killed citizens in the streets of Kampala over and over again. I am not sure this was necessary for the story! Caution: This is an extremely violent and bloody video!

"In November last year, more than 50 people were shot and killed during a government crackdown on the streets of Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Officials defended the use of live fire, saying the police were responding to rioters. But a new investigation by BBC Africa Eye documents a killing spree on Kampala Road, and shows damning evidence that Ugandan security forces, firing from the back of a police truck, shot at least seven unarmed people. "
