A short film that documents the experiences of Queer individuals in Middle Eastern countries, where they have to resist a daunting combination of religion, deeply ingrained beliefs; and a society that condemns them for something they didn't decide to be and can't change. Through a collection of real-life stories, this documentary showcases a dangerous immersion into the daily lives of Queer individuals from the Middle East, revealing the risks they must undertake to express their true selves when no other option is available. These acts of self-expression become their means to reclaim the voices they've been denied to have in their homelands.
