(Uganda/USA 2012,87 min.)

"Taking a hard look at the prevailing attitudes in Uganda, Call Me Kuchu specifically focuses on the efforts of that country's first openly gay man—with the help of the activist community he's inspired—to fight a bill that would make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato is presented as a tireless advocate for tolerance and LGBT rights. He's warm, charming, funny and undeniably courageous, but also very pragmatic when it comes to safety. In one of many anecdotes he shares with the filmmakers, the levelheaded activist explains why he doesn't go to court without a representative of the Human Rights Commission present anymore: nothing is more protective than a foreign eye. This is the other side of the Big Brother argument: who wants to cast the first stone when the world is watching?" Exclaim!
