Cecilie McNair: Mukwano

Den sidste onsdagsfilm på Øksnehallens udstilling Africa Reframed er dansk og fra i år og i sit emne sørgelig aktuel, den behandler det mere end problematiske i at udvise homoseksuelle asylansøgere til et land, hvor homoseksuelle forfølges af såvel myndigheder som store dele af den omgivende befolkning.

SYNOPSIS

Mary Kabufufu er lesbisk og asylansøger. Hun leder efter sin kæreste, som forsvandt under deres flugt fra Uganda. Til Marys sidste interview i Flygtningenævnet går det op for hende, at hun har overset en ledetråd, som måske kan føre hende til kæresten. Men hun ved stadig ikke, om hun får asyl. (Africa Reframed program)
