Philip Runia (Film Forum Committee) writes about Bijou's upcoming screening of GOD LOVES UGANDA, February 11 at 6pm!

Roger Ross Williams’ GOD LOVES UGANDA (2013) reveals the ties between religion, homosexuality, and law. The film discusses the effects of missionary efforts in Uganda, and how they may harm more than they may help.

A discussion and analysis of evangelicalism and LGBTQ+ rights is necessary and ongoing. With the threat of a death penalty for queer livelihood and activism in Uganda, this film is alarmingly relevant.

Come discuss with us, February 11 at pm! Followed by a panel discussion!
