In God We Trust, a documentary which highlights the effects of ideologically driven funding on HIV/AIDS prevention programs in Uganda. The film was shot entirely in Uganda and premiered at the Bergen International Film Festival (BIFF).
Despite millions of USAID dollars being poured into the country every year, the HIV prevalence rate is currently around 7% and rising. International funding has been crucial to the treatment of those infected with the virus, but has it been as effective for prevention?
For every person receiving anti-retroviral drugs in Uganda, five more are infected with the virus. And with major USAID funding being diverted into "Abstinence Only" programs, access to accurate prevention information and distribution of condoms is restricted.
The church plays an important role in the lives of many Ugandans, and influences a large percentage of HIV/AIDS prevention and care. Many Ugandan pastors, influenced by the growing American Pentecostal Born Again movement, promote "Abstinence Only" and faithfulness as the only HIV prevention measures. While sex outside marriage is proclaimed promiscuous and sinful, this message contradicts cultural patterns and social conditions in current Ugandan society.
The film illustrates the stories of Ugandan health and human rights professionals, pastors, teachers and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. It highlights the issues faced when international funding, intended to improve lives and to prevent the spread of the virus, is driven by ideology.
