'' God Loves Uganda '' is a documentary film produced and directed by Roger Ross Williams , which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival . It explores connections between evangelicalism in North America and in Uganda , suggesting that the North American influence is the reason behind the controversial Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act , which at one point raised the possibility of the death penalty for gays and lesbians . The filmmakers follow a group of young missionaries from the International House of Prayer in their first missionary effort in another nation , as well as interviewing several evangelical leaders from the US and Uganda
