God Loves Uganda

God Loves Uganda is the documentary that I mentioned in my last post that was released earlier this year. I found the movie on youtube and started watching it today. The film explores the roots and affects that the influx of American-conservative-Evangelists has had on Ugandan society and government. It follows the story of multiple people from every side of the cultural divide; converted-Evangelical Ugandans, American missionaries, queer people living in Uganda, government officials, and those fighting to protect the lives of LGBT people. What I'm beginning to see from this movie is how responsible a small fraction of the American population is for the systematic genocide and oppression that is occurring in Uganda right now. This is something that I hope to do more research about. This information had made me also start thinking about this question; what should or can the American government do? Is there anything we can do? How can we stop what is happening?
