Synopsis by Rovi
This documentary examines the strident anti-LGBT climate in Nigeria by foregrounding the courageous defiance of a new generation of nonconformist youths. It follows the efforts of Micheal Ighodaro, a Nigerian LGBT activist in New York, and his circle of friends who remain in Nigeria, torn between the prospect of migrating overseas and standing their ground in an increasingly hostile society. Directed by Giselle Bailey and Nneka Onuorah.
