Uganda: Call Me Kuchu

Blurb!: "In Uganda, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women are called “Kuchus”. Call Me Kuchu by Katherine Fairfax Wright andMalika Zouhali-Worrall is the extraordinary story of a courageous group of Kuchu activists, lead by the charismatic David Kato, as they fight for equality in the face of fundamentalist Christian pastors, “exposés” from tabloid journalists, and manipulative politicians who would have them sentenced to prison or death for being HIV positive. Released in the UK on 2 November, Call Me Kuchu is an affecting portrait of men and women who refuse to be invisible in the face of the threat of ostracism and physical violence."

Great to see a film that lets lesbian and gay Ugandans speak for themselves.

Find screenings etc on their website.
