Synopsis
Ukwia is a TV programme broadcast fortnightly on OBE TV, primarily aimed at the Angolan community living in the United Kingdom. The first edition of UKWIA went on the air on the 25th of December 2005. In the first edition, the presenters conducted an experiment in Leicester Square, London, by approaching passers-by and showing them the Angolan flag and asking if they knew to which country it belong. Only 3 people did manage to answer correctly, and out of those, 2 of them were Angolan citizens. Note that all this took place before Angola reaching international recognition by qualifying for the World Cup finals. UKWIA marks the return of Marcio Cabral and his sister Marina Cabral to the small screen, continuing their partnership which started in Angola, on the children aimed TV programme,comboio da amizade. The contract between OBE TV and UKWIA is of a free-lance character. Since the start Marcio and Marina have expressed their desire of making a democratic and non-biased television show, one with no political preference or ambitions. The programme has helped young Angolan newcomers especially in the music industry such as: prodigio, dr. nando, kapa, and many other voices of the future, and in a way has helped rescue the sense of pride in being Angolan.
