Interview with Vanguard Journalist Mariana van Zeller
This episode brings to light the human tragedy that is taking place in Uganda. Groups like the Family and others funnel money to prop up frighteningly draconian anti-gay legislation. This is known to this community.
But to see this tragedy first hand is disturbing and profound. It's hard to really find a way to describe the roller coaster of emotions this program will bring.
The program follows the struggle of gays in Uganda, groups that have further gone into hiding because of fear of violence. It intersects with the local preachers who preach fiery, hateful sermons, where they do things as absurd as show Scat porn and ask questions"Is eating poop poop natural?".
The show further details the connection of far right evangelical groups who have funded the rise of these preachers and politicians who agree with their Anti-gay agenda platform. It features figures like Rick Warren, who initially supported and was loved by the Ugandan hate community, only to rebuke the new legislation and been now rejected by the hate group as weak and two-faced.
Vanguard if you don't know is one of the best news programs I had ever seen. It is on Al Gore owned(partially) Current TV and it is in its 4th season. It is probably most known for two of its journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee who were taken hostage by North Korea last year, who were released with the help of President Clinton.
My roomate showed me my first episode last year. I watched all three seasons in the two days following.
Here is another of my favorite episodes.
