In Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato – Uganda’s first openly gay man – along with retired Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo and his fellow activists work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combatting vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one, not even the filmmakers can be prepared for the brutal murder that shakes the movement to its core and sends shock waves around the world.

Directors: Katherine Fairfax Wright, Malika Zouhali-Worrall (US/Uganda 2012) 87 min.

June is Pride Month, a celebration of LGBTQIA+ people and culture – a time to reflect on the great strides we’ve made as a community and to take inventory of the challenges we continue to face. As varied and vibrant as the community is, so are their stories put to film. CAFILM is proud to present its first-ever Pride series, showcasing the best LGBQTIA+ films that made history, not only because they were awarded or internationally recognized, but because of their importance in elevating new perspectives and voices.

This event seeks to promote awareness and understanding of LGBTQIA+ issues and create a safe and supportive environment for the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies to come together and celebrate their identities. It is a positive step towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming community for all.
