“God Loves Uganda”
Free screening Tuesday, October 22, 2013, 6:00pm, Fort Lewis College, Vallecito Room. Discussion to follow includes Durango Herald News Editor, Amy Maestas, who spent three weeks in Uganda working with foreign journalists and interviewing LGBT activists, Parliamentary members and allies.
The feature-length documentary God Loves Uganda is a powerful exploration of the evangelical campaign to change African culture with values imported from America’s Christian Right. The film follows American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting “sexual immorality” and missionaries trying to convince Ugandans to follow Biblical law.
