This documentary explores the connections between the Conservative Evangelical movement in America and the influx of money and missionaries to Uganda, leading to a rise in homophobic hate crimes and a bill introduced in parliament that would make some homosexual acts punishable by the death penalty.
It's not a fun watch but in this, the year of our apocalypse 2021, it's important. This was filmed almost a decade ago and it's still incredibly relevant. If anything, it was a bellwether for the continued swell of the Religious Right, for whom science is a filthy word and God only exists to protect rich white people.
You're going to want to watch something fun after this. God Loves Uganda is streaming on Paramount+ but so is Reno 911 so just keep that in mind.
