Leak Proof Mission (2018 short film)

Leak Proof Mission is a 2018 Ugandan short film based on the 2012 Uganda People's Defence Air Force (UPDAF) chopper crashes in Kenya en route to war-torn Somalia for an AMISOM mission.
Directed by Josh Timothy Waiswa, the 10 minute-long screen production focusses on a few events surrounding the accident and the actual warning given by Prophet Elvis Mbonye during a Zoe Fellowship on Tuesday 7 August 2012. According to Breaking News reports from dramatised TV clips, Ugandan Airforce Commander General Mabior de Mabior (role played by Jalum John) calls the mission "salvation" for the people of Somalia. However, Jeff - his "ear and eye on the ground" warns him about "The Prophet" who phoned and told him that he foresaw doom for the flight planned to leave Soroti for Eldoret on a Sunday plus refuel in Nanyuki before touching down in the Mog. Jeff (role played by Fidel Sankara) adds that from a background check, this "accurate" prophet also predicted the 2004 Tsunami and the 2010 Kyadondo Rugby Ground World Cup Bombings that all came to pass. The mission could not be abandoned "because of a serious order from above". Captain Lucas, the Lead Pilot of the Mogadishu mission physically confronts Jeff in the corridor after the meeting with the general but later dies in the Mt. Kenya thicket accident despite his wife's prayers. Ugandan rapper Ruyonga acts as the Priest who reads the eulogy at the captain's funeral.
Reception
NTV Uganda premiered the short film on 18 April 2018 and many followers of the mystic Elvis Mbonye liked it as expressed on social media especially Facebook.
The announcer at the end of the video refers to the accident as a bombing but it was apparently not caused by any human effort.
