| Summary |
"Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams explores the role of the American evangelical movement in Uganda, where American missionaries have created schools and hospitals, and promoted their ideas about sexuality. The film follows politicians, young missionaries, and evangelical leaders as they attempt the radical task of eliminating "sexual sin" and converting Ugandans to evangelical Christianity. Through interviews and hidden camera footage and with unprecedented access on the ground, the film allows Amercian 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 how closely this brand of Christianity resembles the one you think you know, and contemplating the repercussions of ideological colonialism in developing nations." -- back of container |
