Q-Factor produced a short film consisting of a collection of nine stories told by GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) people from Africa. The focus of the film is to highlight the experience of GLBT people living in African countries, especially in ‘hostile’ countries where homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment or worse.

This short film gives a voice to people who might not otherwise be able to have their stories heard by a larger audience while at the same time ensuring anonymity to those living in dangerous situations.
