一部關於肯亞年輕LGBTI的生命樣貌。因當地法律將同志汙名化,使得歧視與暴力事件不斷,生存變得更加艱難。導演花了數月時間走訪肯亞,搜集當地年輕多元性別的生命經驗,以及如何在恐同的社會下生存的故事。以眾多匿名訪談轉化為本片中的五個故事,突顯現今肯亞年輕同志的處境。以詩意黑白畫面佐以旁白,深深觸動且激勵人心!

The country is Kenya. The theme is gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex. The characters are high school students, farm workers, researchers. The stories are dramatizations of real-life events in the country where laws stigmatize and criminalize homosexuals. The filmmakers are brave souls defying unjust and inhumane circumstances and risking their lives to present these stories to the rest of the world. The film is inspirational.
