A searing and timely look at the struggle against rampant discrimination in Nigeria today, as seen through the lens of several bold and charismatic, non-conformist youth who fight to live life out loud. Through social media, celebrity and creative expression, they spark a cultural debate that challenges the ideals of gender conformity and human rights in Nigeria.
Electric and defiant, this documentary captures the friction between rigid tradition and the radical self-expression of Nigeria's youth. You will witness how social media and art become weapons for those refusing to hide their true identities.
