Scott Mills, a gay Radio 1 DJ, travels to Uganda while parliament debates a bill that would introduce the death penalty for homosexuality. He talks to ordinary Ugandans about how the proposed law has changed daily life for gay people, from fear of exposure to actual violence, and sits down with the pastors and politicians pushing the legislation, letting them state their case for the camera rather than narrating around them. Mills is open about his own sexuality throughout the trip, which changes the tenor of these conversations: he is not a neutral observer asking about a distant issue but someone the people he interviews would criminalize. The film follows him into churches, homes, and hiding places where gay Ugandans describe the campaign of arrests and beatings already underway before the bill has even passed. It ends without resolution, since the law remains before parliament, but with a clear picture of who is driving it and who is caught underneath.
