- Summary:
- This film is an intimate portrait of the underground gay and lesbian community in Cameroon--where more people are sent to prison for homosexuality than any other country in the world. This documentary follows several LGBT youth both inside and outside the walls of The Access Center, a safe haven for LGBT Cameroonians, located in an unmarked building on Doualaʼs busiest street. As the locus of gay rights advocacy in Cameroon, the Center functions as a site of hope, culture, and celebration for those living with the constant fear of losing their job, home, and family.
