With unprecedented access, the filmmakers follow David Kato - Uganda's first openly gay man - and his fellow activists as they work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combatting vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one, not even the filmmakers are prepared for the brutal murder that shakes their movement to the its core and sends shock waves around the world. CALL ME KUCHU depicts the last year in the life of a courageous, quick-witted and steadfast man whose wisdom and achievements were not fully recognized until after his death, and whose memory has inspired a new generation of human rights advocates..

Review For Call Me Kuchu | |
| I'll be surprised if any other movie this year affects me as much. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com A scary but inspiring film with real heroes and villains. Stephen Holden-New York Times The very best - and, alas, the very worst - of human nature is captured in this heartbreaking and inspiring documentary from Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Equally gut-wrenching and inspiring, the documentary Call Me Kuchu beams right from Uganda, the global hypocenter in the ongoing and intensifying struggle over LGBT rights. Ernest Hardy-Village Voice It's far too soon for a happy ending, but in praising Kato's bravery, Call Me Kuchu at least points to the potential for one. Sam Adams-Time Out New York [A] shocking, moving, enthralling and enraging doc ... Ben Walters-Time Out Apart from its laudable goal of raising awareness, the film doesn't have much to offer. Mike D'Angelo-AV Club Simultaneously difficult to watch and a must-see. Clay Cane-BET.com The film provides welcome context for the semi-hysteria that recently took over the U.S. media in regard to Uganda's "Kill the Gays" bill. Diego Costa-Slant Magazine It does the one thing that bigots and homophobes can't stand: it puts a human face on the targets of their unfounded, irrational hatred. Mark Keizer-Alt Film Guide A heartfelt human rights gem that exposes anti-gay hatred in Uganda. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve [An] eloquent, devastating documentary ... Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix Such horror, such bravery. Rachel Cooke-Observer [UK] There is eye-opening footage of American missionaries declaring Uganda Ground Zero in a biblical war and powerful personal stories of individuals facing violence, intimidation and hatred. Allan Hunter-Daily Express The palpable sense of loss and grief testify to how the film-makers have turned what could have been a detached news report into a moving human tragedy. Steve Rose-Guardian [UK] Call Me Kuchu, a documentary about homophobia in Uganda, lifts a rock in that country and discovers the insect life ruling it. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times An essential film in the pursuit of civil liberty and the fight against fascism. Jack Jones-Little White Lies A timely, gut-wrenching but ultimately hopeful work. Carmen Gray-Total Film As angry and unflinching a piece of documentary filmmaking as you'll see this year. David Parkinson-Empire Magazine | |
