Summary: | "There are more arrests for homosexuality in Cameroon than any other country in the world. With intimate access to the lives of four young gay Cameroonians, Born This Way steps outside the genre of activist filmmaking and offers a vivid and poetic portrait of day-to-day life in modern Africa. Lyrical imagery, devastating homophobia, the influence of western culture and a hidden-camera courtroom drama mysteriously coalesce into a story of what is possible in the global fight for equality."-- Unedted summary from the film's website. "Born Ths Way is an intimate portrait of the underground gay and lesbian community in Cameroon--where more people are sent to prison for homosexuality than any other country in the world"--Container.
