Director(s): Kingsley Lims Nyarko
Despite having the cradle of humanity on the African continent, yet it remains behind most of the world in coexisting with LGBTQ families and ending violence against human rights. Homophobia explores an immigrant's ordeal with a Trans woman in Columbus, Ohio. As the Director/ Cinematographer, I have had to watch people, particularly Africans, physically and verbally abuse individuals/groups of the LGBTQ community both in Ghana and abroad.
Upon research and talking to few Africans about their thought on this issue, I came to the realization that, most are less informed and not sure how to interact with gender queers. With such data and motivation from personal experiences as an artist, Homophobia was conceived. This short narrative seeks to primarily inspire young ones to coexist and leave behind such long held hatred against the LGBTQ community.
