Call Me Kuchu

Malika Zouhali Worrall's Call Me Kuchu (Uganda, 2012) - A fierce, homegrown anti-gay movement and a vastly outnumbered LGBT community confront each other in Uganda to uncertain and unsettling results in "Call Me Kuchu." As much an activist wake-up call as a piece of reportage, this report from the frontlines by co-directors Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall offers an outsider's view; while a local filmmaker's perspective may have brought more dimensions, the coverage of events here is impressive and on the mark. Fest tour has been sensational. 2012BERp. RATING: 7
