Exiled: Europes Gay Refugees

Country: UK, Language: English, 25 mins

  • Director: Rebecca Kenna

CGiii Comment

Among the million-plus refugees in Germany are tens of thousands who've fled Middle Eastern countries where being gay can get you killed. Reporter Shaunagh Connaire and director Rebecca Kenna spend time with three such refugees, and discover that gay refugees in the refugee camps and shelters of Berlin and Cologne face violent attacks and abuse from fellow refugees and migrants, with the hatred and dangers they faced in the Middle East following them to Germany, and with the attacks also feeding into the wider political debate about the challenges of assimilating refugees without compromising German values.
