    Film Examines Attempts By American Evangelicals to impose their Christian Right beliefs on the people and government of Uganda; suggests North American influence behind controversial Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill that was just signed in to law. February 25, 2014, Palm Springs, CA - Although Uganda's President Museveni claimed he was signing the country’s controversial anti-gay bill into law to fight liberal cultural imperialism by the West, the reality is that he may have actually signed the bill into law as a direct result of just the opposite: conservative cultural imperialism by America’s Christian Right. Possible? Academy Award-Winning Director Roger Ross Williams explores exactly that theory in his documentary God Loves Uganda. The Academy Award®-short-listed film in the Best Documentary Feature category is one of the year's most talked-about and critically-acclaimed films.  Oscar® winner Roger Ross Williams provides a powerful exploration into the evangelical campaign to change African culture with values imported from America’s Christian Right. The film follows American and Ugandan religious leaders fighting what they consider "sexual immorality," and missionaries trying to convince Ugandans to follow Biblical law. Director Roger Ross Williams plans to attend the American Documentary Film Festival screening of God Loves Uganda (http://www.godlovesuganda.com/) on Friday, March 28, at 11:30 am (Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs).
