This exclusive, extended footage from Vanguard's “Missionaries of Hate” shows American evangelical leader Lou Engle at a rally in Uganda this May. Engle, founder of TheCall Ministry and a chief campaigner for Proposition 8, the measure that outlawed same sex marriage in California, traveled to the east African nation to headline a prayer event. “We know that Uganda has been under tremendous pressure,” Engle said at the rally. “I felt like TheCall was to come and join with the church of Uganda.” In “Missionaries of Hate,” correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to Uganda, where many question whether the growing influence of American religious groups has led to a movement to make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. “Vanguard,” airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
