Description
With God Loves Uganda, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams (Music by Prudence) explores the role of the American Evangelical movement in fueling Uganda's terrifying turn towards biblical law and the proposed death penalty for homosexuality. Thanks to charismatic religious leaders and a well-financed campaign, these draconian new laws and the politicians that peddle them are winning over the Ugandan public. But these dangerous policies and the money that fuels them aren't coming from Africa; they're being imported from some of America's largest megachurches. Using vérité, interviews, and hidden camera footage, the film allows American religious leaders and their young missionaries that make up the "front lines in a battle for billions of souls" to explain their positions in their own words. Shocking and enlightening, touching and horrifying, God Loves Uganda will leave you questioning just how closely this brand of Christianity resembles the one you think you know. Shortlisted for a 2013 Academy Award for Best Documentary. "CRITIC'S PICK! A searing look at the role of American evangelical missionaries in the persecution of gay Africans." - The New York Times. "An extraordinary, excellent film."- MSNBC. "Masterfully crafted and astonishingly provocative, God Loves Uganda may be the most terrifying film of the year." - Sundance Film Festival. "Williams is to be commended not only for his filmmaking skill, but also for pulling back the curtain on a most disturbing situation." - The Hollywood Reporter.
