Village Voice -
What makes Kuchu work as taut agitprop, and ultimately to devastating emotional effect, is that Wright and Zouhali-Worrall allow the enormity of the film's political concerns to be telegraphed through the stories, experiences, and astute analysis of ordinary queer folk and their hetero allies.

The Guardian -
The film-makers have turned what could have been a detached news report into a moving human tragedy.

Time Out London -
The struggle for LGBT rights in Uganda might sound like a dry or distant subject. It’s the achievement of Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall’s shocking, moving, enthralling and enraging doc to make it lively and urgent.

Total Film -
A timely, gut-wrenching but ultimately hopeful work.

Empire -
As angry and unflinching a piece of documentary filmmaking as you'll see this year.
