CGiii Comment

A whirlwind tour of the more unaccepting countries...

Perhaps, a little too ambitious for the 11-minute runtime.

Nonetheless...a powerful film.

Sexual Minorities and Development: A Short Film - FULL VERSION from Jake Fagan on Vimeo.

The(ir) Blurb...

Discrimination against sexual minorities contributes to a cycle of poverty and can limit their ability to benefit from the means of economic development. Further, one's opportunities in life, from education to employment to healthcare to justice to a life free of violence, are often limited by this discrimination. This film interviews LGBTI leaders from around the world to discuss the impact of punitive laws and social stigma, while also respecting the resilience of these communities to advance real change.
