Historically important LGBT+ documentary for the world to see

Colonialisation, police brutality, curruption, and the legal case against India's Penal Code section 377. Marked by its efforts to frame certain sexual acts and people as "against the laws of nature".

Achingly recent, making this all the more heartbreaking upon hearing individuals speak of its impact on their lives. Inspirational to watch when combined efforts of so many groups fighting for human rights achieves significant impact.

Shocking stuff.
