In Uganda, homosexuality is illegal and a proposed anti-gay law that could sentence hundreds to death is waiting approval in Parliament
SHEFFIELD, (TrustLaw) - Portraing them not as victims but as fighters.
"Call Me Kuchu" is a documentary about the combativeness and positiveness of the lgbti community in Uganda, and the progress they're making in a country where being gay is illegal and an anti-homosexuality bill that could lead to prosecution and jail for hundreds of them is sitting in parliament for the second time, awaiting approval.
Directors Malika Zouhali-Worrall and Katherine Fairfax Wright followed David Kato- who lost his life to the cause- and a group of Ugandan Lgbti activists from the chaotic streets of Kampala to court rooms and drag queen parties, to let the people on the frontline of this struggle speak.
