God Loves Uganda!

God Loves Uganda explores the role of the American evangelical movement in Uganda, where American missionaries have been credited with both creating schools and hospitals and promoting dangerous religious bigotry. The film follows evangelical leaders in America and Uganda along with politicians and missionaries as they attempt the radical task of eliminating “sexual sin” and converting Ugandans to fundamentalist Christianity.

On why he made the film, Academy Award® winning director Roger Ross Williams said, “My father was a religious leader in the community and my sister is a pastor. I went to church every Sunday and sang in the choir. But for all that the church gave me, for all that it represented belonging, love and community, it also shut its doors to me as a gay person. That experience left me with the lifelong desire to explore the power of religion to transform lives or destroy them.”  
 
God Loves Uganda premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and is currently playing at film festivals around the world. The film will broadcast on ITVS (PBS) in 2014. For more information on God Loves Uganda and to view a trailer visit http://www.godlovesuganda.com
