CALL ME KUCHU - The Doc. of Ugandan's LGBTI's Battles

To call the efforts of Ugandan's LGBTI's a battle is a gross understatement of the persecution and oppression the "homosexual" community experiences in their daily lives.  Their efforts to thwart legislation making homosexuality criminal; punishable by imprisonment or death are being fought in the name of religion.  Furthermore, individuals who do no report to the authorities, homosexuals known to them, are subject to imprisonment.  How did this great evil grow in the world?  How is religion used to support not only hatred but brutality against those who choose to live peacefully only with a different sexual orientation?  More importantly, how does such hatred thrive and fester?  CALL ME KUCHU is a riveting documentary of what is happening in Uganda to the gay community and the efforts of LGBTI activists and brave individuals to compat their country's anti-homosexuality bill and relentless brutality aimed at homosexuals.  This is a disturbing and moving documentary.  Do not shrug your shoulders and say but what are they to me?  As the true man of the cloth says, despite being shunned from his Christian Church, "we are all one."  At the very least, legislation in the U.S.A.  must be passed legalizing marriage of gays in every state.  Stand against prejudice and cruelty in our world.  This documentary is heart wrenching.  It is also life affirming.  There is goodness in the world.  Sadly, the seeds of animosity are deeply rooted & must be purged.
