當恐同的美國福音派教徒發現國內願意聽他們發聲的人越來越少,他們又找到了非洲烏干達這個新大陸。奧斯卡金獎導演羅傑羅斯的這部紀錄片既詼諧,卻也引人發怒;片中探討烏干達如何接受了這群傳教人士,殊不知他們傳播的思想反而導致當局促成「消滅同性戀」的法令;但也有一群烏干達神職人員努力捍衛著同志平等,企圖與這股勢力對抗。

This documentary examines how the nation of Uganda has thrown open its arms to discredited and oblivious ministers who appear completely unaware of how their teachings have induced politicians to put forward the country’s infamous“kill the gays” legislation. But the film also introduces us to Ugandan clergy who, both at home and abroad, are risking excommunication and even death to defend the unpopular cause of LGBT equality.
