Original Title:

Call Me Kuchu

Damning in its condemnation of the homophobia whipped up in Uganda by fundamentalist Christians, this is an unflinching investigation into the murder of gay activist David Kato. Angrily subjective, but provocative and powerful.

As angry and unflinching a piece of documentary filmmaking as you'll see this year.
