Multi-award winning black African filmmaker Sorious Samura investigates what it is like to be a gay person in Africa, discovering shocking levels of prejudice and hate, driven by governments, religious organisations and communities. Samura looks at the impact extreme homophobia is having on gay people’s lives, tracking down the victims of a recent mob attack in Kenya, speaking to gay men who have spent time in prison for their sexuality and meeting African homosexuals who are often forced into secret lives. He discovers that AIDS is spreading at an alarming rate amongst gay men in Africa who are not being given vital sex education and health care by governments that are opposed to homosexuality.\n
