Screening of Taboo…Yardies, the documentary by filmmaker Selena Blake that documents the island of Jamaica as a hotbed of homo-intolerance and violence.
The controversial documentary is a searing, at turns poignant depiction of the myriad of perspectives surrounding the topic of intolerance and violence towards same gender loving (SGL), lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people living in Jamaica. The film has been screened internationally – most importantly, in Jamaica amid heated anti-homosexual protest, prompting media attention and open discussions on the Human Rights of the SGL/LGBT community in Jamaica
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with film director, Selena Blake, creator of the 2005 award winning documentary “Queensbridge: The Other Side” (May/Nov Productions), moderated by John-Martin Green, CEO, The Gatekeepers Collective and Harlem Pride, Board of Directors
