Shelter. Farewell To Eden

At some point in this documentary, a female voice assures us that we cannot put the religion of Islam and being gay in the same box. The two ideas are simply not compatible.

This poetic documentary addresses the issue of the sexual identity of a transgender person who has had to constantly mutate in order to survive in his environment. 

From Africa, she had to escape as a refugee to Europe to survive harassment because of her homosexuality. Now. from Paris. she reflects on her life so far.
