God Loves Uganda


God Loves Uganda is a documentary film produced and directed by Roger Ross Williams, which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. It explores connections between evangelicalism in North America and in Uganda, suggesting that the North American influence is the reason behind the controversial Uganda AntiHomosexuality Act, which at one point raised the possibility of the death penalty for gays and lesbians. The filmmakers follow a group of young missionaries from the International House of Prayer in their first missionary effort in another nation, as well as interviewing several evangelical leaders from the US and Uganda.

In late May 2014, the film aired on several PBS stations in the United States as part of the Independent Lens series. In response, the International House of Prayer said that it is not involved in politics, despite the long history of political involvement by Engle, IHOP director Mike Bickle and other IHOP leaders.Joe Mirabella at the Huffington Post described it as the most terrifying film of the year Tim Wu at Slate and Bill Blezek at the Omaha WorldHerald described the film as disturbing. On the other hand, John G. Stackhouse, Jr. of Christianity Today criticized the film for perceived evangelophobia and trading in propaganda, likening the film to the 2006 film Jesus Camp. ........
