 River and the Mountain, The

River and the Mountain, The

Synopsis:
The River and the Mountain tackles the controversial interaction of religion, politics and sexuality in contemporary Uganda. It tells the story of Sampson, a westernised young executive at a cooking oil company, and Olu, his best friend and would-be pastor. When Sampsons peaceful resolution of a strike by his workers leads to promotion and public prestige, he confesses to Olu that hes gay. But his plans begin to unravel as the forces of ambition and greed unleash a ferocious homophobic campaign in the media, and Olu must choose between his own friendship and the tidal currents of popularism and power....

Notes:
The River and the Mountain was staged in Kampala, Uganda, in 2012. It was the first play ever performed in Uganda to address the issue of homosexuality. It was censored from appearing at the Ugandan National Theatre, but ran for two weeks in different venues. The play was then banned by the Ugandan censors, and its producer prosecuted and deported.
