This is a documentary about homosexual culture in countries where it is not now accepted, focusing primarily on the developing world. During the 1990's, several countries had vibrant homosexual cultures, even in the Muslim world. Yet this increased exposure also lead to governments enacting new or harsher laws and other punishments against gays and lesbians.
This gave a very interesting view into a lifestyle that, for many, has become visible and even accepted. There are plenty of people in the USA that do not accept homosexuality, but they do not (yet) go to the extremes that other countries do. This film, at times, portrays homosexuals as the modern day Jews in the persecution to which they are exposed. These people are persecuted, raped, and killed for being who they are.
I applaud the people featured in this film. They are living their lives in the wake of violence and persecution. Yet, with every news story that is released, more people come out and expose themselves to the same possible actions.
10 words or less: The cruelty in human nature astounds me.
