Private Project

I'm Not Sick! I'm Gay.

Dennis is gay. This is a problem in his home country Kazakhstan. Abuse and beatings occur almost on a daily basis to everyone coming out as gay or lesbian. This documentary portraits Dennis, one of the few open activists in Kazakhstan, his brave fight for real equality and his attempts to organize a public Pride event in his home town with his LGBT friends.

The film and trailer with English text and subtitles will follow soon.
