According to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, this documentary video shows how some evangelical Christians from the US are fueling - and funding - anti-gay measures in Uganda. One proposed measure is an anti-homosexuality bill, colloquially known as the 'kill the gays bill' because of the death sentence it has at times carried with it.

Published as a New York Times op-doc on Tuesday, the clip draws on footage from 'God Loves Uganda', a documentary by film-maker Roger Ross Williams, premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
