Films
God Loves Uganda premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Roger Ross Williams, the film explores connections between evangelicals in the United States and Uganda, suggesting that U.S. influence is the reason behind the controversial Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, which at one point raised the possibility of the death penalty for LGBTI people.
