DESCRIPTION:Academy Award-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams explores the role of 
 the American Evangelical movement in fueling Uganda’s terrifying turn 
 towards the proposed death penalty for homosexuality. GOD LOVES UGANDA is a 
 Variances Films release, runs for 83 minutes, is in English and Swahili 
 with English subtitles, and is not yet MPAA rated.\n \nWith 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.\n \nGOD 
 LOVES UGANDA premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and has gone on 
 to premiere at numerous other film festivals including the 56th San 
 Francisco International Film Festival. \n \nAbout Director Roger Ross
