Help fund documentary about homophobia in Uganda
A UK Charity owner stood on stage in Uganda calling for the Death Penalty for LGBTs. How & why is this allowed to occur and go unquestioned?
Western evangelicals from the UK and US have been preaching hate in Uganda which has led to anti-gay legislation that has caused extreme persecution of the LGBT community and led to an increase in violence, rape and murder. It has also led to a rise in HIV infection rates as people no longer have access to health care.
A new law promised as a “Christmas present” to the people of Uganda makes it illegal to provide employment, housing, transport and even health care to members of the LGBT community.
The previous bill passed in December 2013 and signed by President Museveni in February 2014 was annulled by the constitutional court on a technicality (not the required quorum) in August. The MPs all signed a petition to bring it back and a draft of a new bill has been leaked. This new bill has been promised as a Christmas present (2014) just like the old one was in December 2012 and includes harsher clauses than the original bill and equates homosexuality to bestiality.
Given the nature of the film Daniel B Law will be making, he don’t want to advertise my travel plans or interview subjects, but he have a number of high profile members of the LGBT community in Uganda lined up for interviews as well as a few international figures.
This is Daniel B Law first film, but he has been in contact with the Oscar winning director of God Loves Uganda for advice and support as well as a few other film makers. Daniel B Law also have a contact in Uganda who has experience in filming to assist him. Daniel B Law background is as a graduate from King’s College, Cambridge with a Masters in Astrophysics.
He plan, among other things, to highlight the situation in Africa and use the case of Paul Shinners to highlight the ineffectiveness of the charity commission to regulate charities.
