Lesbophobia

Mi BALKESTÅHL Sepideh ABBASZADEH 2013 Sweden Documentary color 34min English Blu-ray
With the Rainbow Nation forged by Nelson Mandela, a nation for everybody regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation was supposed to be created— a nation where the homogenous society of apartheid was to be abolished. In spite of South Africa having one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, Cape Town's homophobi a is spreading out, everywhere from the skyscrapers of the inner city to the shacks in the townships.
