Freedom Seekers
In this documentary, I explore the lives of four asylum seekers who, exposed to persecution, discrimination, and violence because of their sexual orientation, have fled their country to live in safety and express themselves freely. What happens when you finally arrive in a new country? Do you feel more free? What are your struggles? How do you deal with this? What does it take to build a new life?
With Aslam (Bangladesh), Oscar (Indian), Vlad (Russian) and Courage (Nigerian), whom I met at the LGBTQIA+ center in Paris (3rd arrondissement), I experienced isolation, resilience, and the search for a new life.
