A gay youth fleeing life-threatening violence in Uganda — a country where homosexuality is criminalised and punishable by death — finds 11 strangers who unite to help him escape to Canada. Then a pandemic hits. Then the complications multiply. This documentary is a gut punch about the gap between good intentions and actual solidarity, about what it costs to be LGBTQ+ in countries that want you dead, and about the extraordinary ordinary people who decide that another person's survival matters. In 2024, being gay in over 60 countries is still illegal. Remember that every time Pride feels like a party.
