Rape for Who I am

Synopsis

Homosexuality is one of Africa's last great taboos. In South Africa, homophobia is being 'expressed' through targeted rape of black lesbians.
Four extraordinary women expose harrowing experiences and the struggles of African lesbians. Rape for Who I am is their courageous refusal to become victims of their sexuality.
