2019's surreal fantasy thriller Imperial Blue was filmed in India, the UK, and Uganda. For British director Dan Moss, Ugandan producer Semulema Daniel Katenda, and British producer David Cecil, it is their first movie. The film stars Nicolas Fagerberg, Rehema Nanfuka, Ashish Verma, Arun Kumari Tiwari and Abby Mukiibi Nkaaga in important roles.  

Hugo Winter, an American drug smuggler, is given a sample of Bulu, a relatively uncommon herb from Uganda that is said to have prophecy-invoking properties, while purchasing kilogrammes of hashish in India. Hugo experiences a startling, mystical image of himself in Uganda while in a Bulu trance. Hugo flees to his family's house in London when things go wrong for him in India. Hugo needs to find a way out of this obligation to dangerous gangsters immediately. Hugo leaves for Africa as a result of his prophetic vision in order to get more of this revolutionary new medication and find a solution to his financial issues.

Hugo's Bulu visions in Uganda direct him to Kisakye, a devout farmer. This independent young woman has unintentionally assumed the role of her deceased father, the local shaman, who raised Bulu and used her to defend his community. Isaac, the local pastor, has taken possession of Kisakye's ancestral land since the passing of her father. Despite Kisakye's mistrust of Bulu, whom she views as 'Satanic', she decides to collaborate with Hugo to sell the narcotic overseas because she needs the money. Angela, Kisakye's sister, has her own ideas, though. She sees Hugo as both a potential and a risk because she is collaborating with a crime syndicate to try to introduce Bulu to the global market.

Hugo and Kisakye journey deep into the Ugandan jungle to the isolated settlement of Makaana, where Kisakye secretly raises Bulu, following a close encounter with the criminal gang. Shortly after their arrival, Hugo finds himself juggling Kisakye and Angela's divergent agendas as well as the villagers' suspicions. Although Kisakye is more sincere, she finds Hugo's wild behaviour and her new position as a drug trafficker unpleasant.

Hugo gains respect in the community after correctly predicting the drowning of a local youngster in a Bulu vision and saving him. Pastor Isaac, however, accuses Hugo and Kisakye of splitting the community and explodes in rage. Meanwhile, when Hugo learns from London that his household has been harmed and he has to leave right now, Angela's desperation to reach an agreement with Hugo grows more alluring.

Kisakye pushes Hugo out of the village only having a single hit of Bulu to take it home after his failed attempts to coerce her into giving him her Bulu backfire. He rides the Bulu on the way home and sees Kisakye being attacked by pastor Isaac in his head. The preacher is slain in the ensuing brawl as Hugo returns to save Kisakye.

During the confusion, Hugo and Angela pursue Angela as she escapes the village into the forest with Kisakye's supply of Bulu. When Hugo catches up to Angela, a violent battle result in her death. Hugo, who is hurt and trapped in the wilderness, consumes a significant amount of Bulu in an effort to navigate his way out of the predicament. Instead, the overdose forces him into the underworld of Bulu spirits before leaving him in a state of limbo where he is brain dead. When Kisakye discovers his unconscious body, he uses the funds he had accumulated to purchase the Bulu.
