Call Me Kuchu DVD – David Kato 

Documentary about the struggle for gay rights in Uganda. When a new bill is proposed that would make homosexuality punishable by death in Uganda, David Kato – Uganda’s first openly gay man – and his fellow activists risk life and limb to speak out and oppose the legislation. But when a brutal murder shakes the movement to its core, the stakes of their struggle are raised even higher.

David Kato, Uganda’s first openly gay man, is one of the few who dare to publicly protest state-sanctioned homophobia. A new “Anti-Homosexuality Bill” proposes death for HIV-positive gay men, and prison for anyone who fails to turn in a known homosexual, whilst newspapers have taken to outing people with vicious fervour. David fights Uganda’s government and tabloids to liberate his fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women, or “kuchus.”
