7 YEARS (2008).

7 years
by Bram Vergeer
Borders do not bound homosexuality. It is a fact of life that every community has to deal with. Kenya’s rapidly modernizing society is still heavily influenced by tribal, religious and neo-colonial values. Practising homosexuality is punishable with 7 years imprisonment.
7 YEARS explores the background of this fact and shows how gays and lesbians manage to live in a hostile environment. Finding a job, treating family, going out and sex are daily issues Kenyan gays and lesbians are dealing with. From a pastor to a male sex worker, 7 YEARS gives a voice to a group of people who are normally used to keep quiet.
