Someone sent an email to Reverend Joanna Watson [an American missionary] saying that I'm gay, and she sent it to all the anti-gay pastors in Uganda. One of them said, "We're going to take care of this guy." When I was confronted by them I didn't know what they were going to do, but they decided to pray over me. They said they were going to cure me. That didn't work, of course.

That is what I was more drawn to - creating stories while changing and altering reality.

I mentioned before, these [classic Disney films] are classic mythological tales, a hero's journey, and have been told for thousands of years. Disney has updated them, and made them accessible for us.

'Traveling While Black' is about empathy, what African Americans experience in traveling throughout America, and how it hasn't changed that much from the past. If it can be experienced in virtual reality, then perhaps some empathy can be gained.

I'm not an activist at all. I'm a filmmaker, and I wanted the people involved to tell their own story.

While growing up, I lived in my own fantasy world. I had kind of a rough childhood, so I created my own reality.

American missionaries have free rein in Uganda. They can go anywhere they please - schools, hospitals, parliament.
