Gay Under the Taliban

Directed by Dan T. Hall

With Laya Lewis, Hemi Yeroham, Waleed Akhtar, Nezar Alderazi and Shala Nyx

For LGBTQ+ people living in Afghanistan, the years before the return of the Taliban saw life showing signs of slight improvement. But in 2021 all that progress quickly evaporated, and they were forced back into hiding. This film follows a handful of LGBTQ+ Afghans who are now terrified, persecuted and now hiding from individuals they had previously lived alongside peacefully.
