OUTED:THE PAINFUL REALITY OF AIDS
Dir. Kamoga Hassan | Uganda | 76 mins | Documentary
On 25th February 2014, based on no evidence, a Ugandan tabloid published names and photographs of the people they perceived to be the "Top homosexuals" in the country. This outing not only provoked widespread hate messages towards people perceived to be of LGBTQ orientation but also instigated widespread debate among the Ugandan society. Based on a true story, the film looks into the life of John Alex Kigozi aka Vida who appears on the front page of the tabloid despite the fact that he had never disclosed his sexuality to anyone. Following the outing, Vida's life turns woeful when he consequently loses his job, his house and so much more.
