Film. 3:30 p.m.
Break. 4:55 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Discussion. 5:00 p.m.
On Tuesday, April 16, join us live in OCC 10 or online for a screening and discussion. “God Loves Uganda” is a documentary film that explores the impact of US Christian missionaries on LGBTQIA2S+ individuals in Uganda. The film focuses on a missionary organization that aims to “save” Africa from the spread of the LGBTQIA2S+ lifestyle. The American missionaries are openly hateful toward LGBTQIA2S+ individuals in Africa and support legislation in Uganda that criminalizes LGBTQIA2S+ people. A Ugandan priest advocates for the humanity and dignity of LGBTQIA2S+ individuals but is ostracized along with his family. Watch the film on your own. Then join the Zoom discussion (link in email) at 5pm. * Viewers should be aware that a portion of the documentary has explicit discussion and analysis of human sexuality.
