SUMMARY:Pride Screening: And Still We Rise
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of And Still We Rise\, a moving documentary on resistance to the Anti-Homosexual Act (AHA) in Uganda.\n \nDirected by Nancy Nicol and Richard Lusimbo\, 68 minutes. \nThe film follows Richard Lusimbo\, researcher & documentation manager for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG)\, as he documents the impact of the AHA. It begins by recounting the struggle to stop the AHA from being passed in Uganda’s parliament\, and further examines how this struggle forced LGBTI organizations to put aside most other work to focus their energies on stopping the legislation. The filmmakers also explore how this resistance led to a coalition of over 50 groups that linked this issue to broader human rights and civil liberties work\, subsequently weaving together personal stories of the widespread repression experienced by LGBTI Ugandans who wished to remain visible. \nA story of courage and resilience\, And Still We Rise is an inspiring example of participatory documentary making. \nThis screening is presented in celebration of Hamilton Pride 2016\, and will include an introduction and Q&A with one of the filmmakers. Admission is free. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nNancy Nicol (co-director) is the co-director of And Still We Rise\, with Richard Lusimbo.
