Gay people in Africa are facing increased persecution in a continent where two thirds of countries retain laws against homosexuals. Award-winning filmmaker Sorious Samura investigates for Dispatches what it is like to be a gay person in Africa, discovering shocking levels of prejudice and hate, driven by governments, religious organisations and communities. Samura tracks down the victims of a recent mob attack in Kenya, speaks to gay men who have spent time in prison for their sexuality, and meets African homosexuals who are often forced into secret lives.
