About
A documentary follows gay Namibian activist Friedel Dausab as he challenges his country's criminalisation of same-sex love in a landmark lawsuit.
Out Laws follows Friedel Dausab, a gay Namibian activist who challenges his country's criminalisation of same-sex love. In June 2022 he files a landmark lawsuit against the government. He faces public hostility and personal risk as he takes his case to court and awaits judgment. The documentary traces the colonial roots of queer criminalisation from Tudor England through empire and Christian evangelism. Friedel travels to London with fellow activists Rosanna Flamer-Caldera of Sri Lanka and Raven Gill of Barbados, where history, protest and Pride converge.
