Born This Way (Cameroon)
Thursday, May 25 at 7:00 pm
City of Asylum presents a free screening of Born This Way, a feature-length documentary about the experience of being gay in Cameroon, West Africa. 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. Prior to the screening, award-winning writer and activist Unoma Azuah, will present her talk entitled Visual Activism for African LGBT activists.
