Five stories about how life is for gay and lesbian people in Kenya. There is violence, exclusion and organized persecution. And amid of this hostility, a young group of artists manage to make some beautiful short movies by adding lots of love to it. All is shot in black and white. There is believable acting of people one can easily identify with. A product of good directing. The camera-work is very well done. The sound-quality is splendid. Five stories about a school expelling a girl-student for being in love with another girl; about a boy being beaten by a so called friend for being gay; about a gay boy in love with a straight boy and the impossibility of that; about an African boy hiring a English escort-boy and about a legislator, preaching to the police and all citizens to start arresting gay people for just being gay. I cannot easily imagine what it is like to live in a country where my love is forbidden and where religious people are so full of hate. It is the legacy of European colonialism and nowadays American evangelic hate. That is our contribution to life in Africa (and Asia and South-America). These movies try to beat hate with love. But they pay a price for it. The producer already went to jail for it. But he also has been released. So there is hope for Kenya. We can try to make up for our bad influence in the world, by supporting people like those of The Nest, the collective responsible for the movies. If it is not for the fights they still have to fight, then just for the beautiful movies they make.
