在这部苦楚我名剧情/纪录片片中,由美国助资拍摄的乌干达第一部同志电影“苦楚我名”围绕该国同志维权家David Kato展开。这位小学教师一直致力于修改乌干达的同性恋死刑法律。当地出版物刊登了包括他在内的100位同性恋的姓名照片，呼吁民众“处死他们”。Kato向最高法院起诉并打赢了这场侵权官司，然而数天后他就不幸死于憎同者的乱斧之下。电影不但反映了乌干达的同志生存状态，并且探讨了非洲国家的民主窘境：为什么旨在剥夺少数人生命和尊严的恶法能在议会以多数票通过？获柏林电影节泰迪熊最佳纪录片奖得主。◎QAF
In Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato - Uganda's first openly gay man - and his fellow activists work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combating vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one, not even the filmmakers, is prepared for the brutal murder that shakes the movement to its core and sends shock waves around the world.
A luta continua。
