Description

Dangerous Living is part of The Human Rights Watch Collection.

Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World is the first documentary to deeply explore the lives of gay and lesbian people in non-western cultures. Traveling to five different continents, we hear the heartbreaking and triumphant stories of gays and lesbians from Egypt, Honduras, Kenya, Thailand and elsewhere, where most occurrences of oppression receive no media coverage at all. By sharing the personal stories coming out of developing nations, Dangerous Living sheds light on an emerging global movement striving to end discrimination and violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.

WINNER! Audience Award, Best Feature: Barcelona GLBT International Festival
WINNER! Audience Award, Best Documentary: Hartford Alternatives Festival
OFFICIAL SELECTION: International Film Festival on Human Rights, Geneva
