This hard-hitting documentary reveals the abuse suffered by the gay community all over the world. France, despite having legalized gay marriage in 2013, has seen a rise in homophobic violence in recent years.
In Tunisia, gay people can be sentenced to three years in prison, simply for their sexual orientation. When arrested by the police, they are subject to an “anal examination”, a humiliating procedure of no scientific value.Uganda is one of the 27 sub-Saharan countries in which homosexuality is repressed, with active state-encouragement of homophobia, and where homosexuality is punishable by lifetime imprisonment.
In the United States, more progressive laws have not translated into progressive attitudes. 700,000 Americans, in a desperate attempt to change their sexual orientation, have gone to see therapists who claim to be able to “transform any homosexual into a heterosexual.”
This documentary was produced by Ligne de Front and directed by MICHAELLE GAGNET. It was first released in 2019.

世界各地對同性戀者的極端壓迫與懲罰|見證 |恐同紀錄片。
這部震撼人心的紀錄片揭露了世界各地同性戀群體所遭受的虐待。儘管法國在 2013 年將同性婚姻合法化，但近年來仇視同性戀的暴力事件卻增加。
在突尼斯，同性戀者僅因其性取向即可被判處三年監禁。當他們被警察逮捕時，他們會受到“肛門檢查”，這是一種沒有科學價值的羞辱性程序。可被判處終身監禁。
在美國，更進步的法律並沒有轉化為進步的態度。 70萬美國人不顧一切地嘗試改變自己的性取向，去看了聲稱能夠「將任何同性戀者轉變為異性戀者」的治療師。
這部紀錄片由 Ligne de Front 製作，由 MICHAELLE GAGNET 執導。它於 2019 年首次發布。
