ROYNATION Episode #29 GALA! (on location)

ROYNATION goes all RED CARPET - well, not really, but glamourous all the same! at location for the GALA

TWO documentary filmmakers: 
JIM HUBBARD about his film, UNITED in ANGER: A HISTORY of ACT UP and 
MALIKA ZOUHALI-WORRALL and KATHERINE FAIRFAX WRIGHTabout their documentary, CALL ME KUCHU, about the life and death of Ugandian Activist David Kato and the community he built around him. 

We'll be talking to JIM about his and SARAH SHULMAN's United in Anger: A History of ACT UP, a documentary that captures the rise of activism by people who where fighting to save their lives in a world that didn't care whether they lived or died. The collected footage used in the documentary shows the complexity and drive of the activists. A project that took a generation to realize -the film is inspiring and a document to a time we should never forget.

MALIKA and KATHERINE tell the story of David Kato, Uganda’s first openly gay man David Kato who fought state-sanctioned homophobia. on television, and at the United Nations. 

With unprecedented access, Call Me Kuchu depicts the last year in the life of a caustic, courageous and brilliant man whose wisdom and achievements were not fully recognized until after his death. While heartbreaking, the documentary tells the nuanced story of David and Kampala’s kuchus as they work to change their fate, and that of other kuchus across Africa.

We're on location at the Inside Out Gala Party, so you could be a guest. We'll be talking to the party goers/film lovers - it could get messy.
