God Loves Uganda

Overview

For more than a century, Western Christian churches have been sending missionaries to Africa. Originally intended as a campaign to "civilise", the evangelism has transformed into a politicised radical campaign to eliminate homosexuality and convert Ugandans to fundamentalist Christian values.

In this documentary director Roger Ross Williams allows interviewees from both sides of the debate to tell the story, but that's not to say it's an impartial view. God Loves Uganda approaches the blurring of religion and politics with some balance and a fair amount of anger.
