'God Loves Uganda' Tells the Story of the Ugly Evangelical Campaign in Uganda
God Loves Uganda, from Academy Award-winning director Roger Ross Williams, covers the continuing efforts by evangelical Christians to mold Uganda to their vision of a fundamentalist Christian society. Perhaps the most notable of these efforts was the introduction of a bill that would allow the death penalty to be imposed for acts related to homosexuality.
Using interviews and hidden camera footage, God Loves Uganda is a story that connects the fundamentalist Christians in the U.S. and their Ugandan counterparts. It includes an interview with gay activist David Kato shortly before he was murdered and the story Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, a Ugandan minister who was excommunicated and ostracized advocating a campaign for peace.
Bringing Humanism & Film Together
Reason Cinema is a film series project sponsored by the American Humanist Association. Since 2008, the AHA has hosted free screenings of films with humanist or progressive themes open to the public in Washington DC and other cities in the United States. These screenings are followed by informative discussions with directors, producers, and leading philosophers and policy experts on humanist issues. We aim to advance a secular agenda through innovative films that connect humanism and the arts.
The AHA has recently helped promote the award-winning documentary FUEL, PBS's miniseries Becoming Human, comedian Bill Maher's Religulous, the major motion picture The Golden Compass, Vivek Palavali's Creator of God, and more.
If you are a filmmaker interested in promoting your film, interested in volunteering with Reason Cinema, or have questions or comments, contact us here.
