USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…Outfest’s God Loves Uganda, a Documentary About the Anti-Gay Message
DGA Theater 1 (Los Angeles, CA)
Antigay American evangelicals, finding less and less interest in their hateful message on home soil, seek a new demographic in Africa. This simultaneously funny and infuriating new documentary from Academy Award-winner Roger Ross Williams examines how the nation of Uganda has thrown open its arms to discredited and oblivious ministers who, in deadpan interviews, appear completely unaware of how their teachings have induced politicians to put forward the country’s infamous “kill the gays” legislation. But the film also introduces Ugandan clergy who, both at home and abroad, are risking excommunication and even death to defend the unpopular cause of LGBT equality. From its chilling examination of state-sanctioned bigotry to its darkly comical one-on-one interviews with bright-eyed missionaries, God Loves Uganda provides powerful insight into ignorance disguised as religion currently being exported by some in the United States to the rest of the world. The film makes its Los Angeles premiere at Outfest.
