In the organizer's words:
In 2013, the young journalist and LGBTQ+ activist Eric Lembembe was murdered in Cameroon. He was tortured and beaten to death because he was gay. Shocked by this gruesome murder in his home country, filmmaker Appolain Siewe sets off for Cameroon to find out more about the situation of LGBTQ people there. He soon realizes that Lembembe's murder is not an isolated case. Why is homophobia so firmly anchored in Cameroonian society? What role does colonization play in this?
Appolains Siewe's own experiences, the touching encounters with activists who fight for tolerance in their country with incredible courage despite the great dangers, and his conversations with Cameroonian scientists and in particular the well-known Cameroonian human rights lawyer Alice Nkom, who received the Human Rights Award from Amnesty International Germany in 2014, make the film a unique document.
