Directed by Roger Ross Williams

God Loves Uganda is a powerful exploration of the evangelical campaign to change African cultures with values imported from America’s Christian Right. The film follows American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting “sexual immorality” (homosexuality) and missionaries trying to convince Ugandans to follow Biblical law. Filmmaker Roger Ross Williams exposes the missionary movement in Uganda as an outgrowth of Africa’s colonialist past and a 21st century crusade to recreate a continent of people in the image and likeness of America’s most extreme fundamentalists.
