de Lexi Powner James Lewis(GB, NA) Namibia, Sri Lanka, and Barbados, three territories on three continents, former colonies of the British Empire. Friedel, Rosanna, and Raven are LGBTIQ+ rights activists born in these countries and criminalized by their current laws. But have we forgotten that these laws were introduced and imposed by colonization?
While London celebrates its annual Pride in complete freedom, queer populations in the remnants of the empire are hunted, imprisoned, and even executed. The three protagonists of this enlightening and touching film have decided to fight, to take the state to court, and to raise awareness. To also deconstruct cultural and mental dominations. Role models who inspire courage and provide strength. Screening on October 12 followed by a reception offered by Prismi-lgbtiq+.
