Queer Vision: Sidney and Friends + director Q&A

Director
Tristan Aitchison
Certificate
TBA
Running Time
75 mins

After his rural Kenyan family tries to kill him, Sidney – who is intersex – flees to Nairobi, where he meets a group of transgender chums and joins their struggle against discrimination. Director Tristan Aitchison enjoyed extensive access to this community as he set out to show what life is like as a targeted minority in a country that has no shortage of discriminatory laws affecting LGBT+ people.

Tristan Aitchison will be present for a Q&A after this Queer Vision screening.
