‘Call Me Kuchu’ Screening & Director Talk

CALLMEKUCHU_FINALPOSTERIn Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato, Uganda’s first openly gay man and retired Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo work against the clock to defeat state-sanctioned homophobia while combating vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one is prepared for the brutal murder that shakes their movement to its core and sends shock waves around the world.

Malika Zouhali-Worrall is a British-Moroccan filmmaker and journalist based in New York. Following the film, there will be a Q-and-A with Zouhali-Worrall, the film’s director, writer and producer.

Her work has been published in The Financial Times and at CNN.com, for which she has reported from India, Uganda, China and the U.S. Malika is a graduate of Cambridge University and holds an MA in International Affairs from the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po), where she studied under an Entente Cordiale full scholarship.

She is a Chaz & Roger Ebert Directing Fellow, and an alumnus of the Film Independent Documentary Lab and the Garrett Scott Documentary Development Grant. In 2012, Filmmaker Magazine named Malika one of the 25 New Faces of Independent Film.
