"Decolonise. Decriminalise."
In Namibia, Friedel Dausab has waited 30 years to take on his government and challenge the criminalisation of homosexuality. He risks his personal safety and carries the hopes of all Queer Namibians seeking liberation, safety and the freedom to love. Against a backdrop of a serial killer targeting queer people, he goes to court. A vital record of the unsung heroes of queer liberation, Queer The Way charts the journeys of three remarkable activists who defiantly challenge the criminalisation of same sex love. Their personal stories intersect with the shocking history of criminalisation and colonialism. From Tudor England to today's US Evangelical Church stoking hatred and violence, this essential documentary reveals the ongoing impact of politics and religion on the everyday lives of Queer people.
