We are committed to advocating for the social inclusion and acceptance of lesbian, bi, and queer Nigerian women through visual storytelling

We are committed to creating a world where no person has to choose between who they are and who they love

About us

A passion for accurate representation and non-biased visibility

From 2015 to 2024, social acceptance of LGBTQI people has increased by about 33%. This means that over 56% of Nigerians will still not accept a person who identifies as LGBTQI. We believe that film has the power to create a more accepting society

Social Acceptance

In the 2022 Social Acceptance Study, 62.9% of Nigerians say they will not accept a friend or family member who identifies as LGBTQI. We are working to change this through film.

  • visual storytelling has the power to challenge stereotypes
  • films have the power to give people a better future to imagine; a future of acceptance and love
  • films have the power to increase social acceptance of LGBTQ people

Social Inclusion

In 2015, 77% of Nigerians supported punishment for being gay or lesbian. In 2022, that number dropped to 48%.

  • The increase in film advocacy efforts over the last 9 years has reduced support for punishment for being gay/lesbian
  • Telling stories of queer people through film is a radical act of advocacy and it is working
  • We know that more films will lead to more social inclusion

Accurate Representation

84% of Nigerians say they do not have a family member who identifies as LGBTQI.

  • It is important that queer Nigerians see themselves accurately represented in Nigerian films
  • Accurate representation helps increase social acceptance of LGBTQI people
  • Film has the power to portray the reality of queer Nigerians and this helps to challenge stereotypes and prejudices

An array of stories

Our film projects so far tell stories of love, acceptance, rejection, homophobia, intimate partner violence, and resilience.

Center Stage (2022)

  • A web series that explores conversations around prejudice, privilege, and power as it relates to lived realities of the Nigerian queer community

Under The Rainbow (2018)

  • Pamela Adie narrates her journey of self-discovery. As she takes us through her experiences, we see first-hand what it is to be homosexual in an unforgivingly homophobic society, and the total alienation that can come from being despised, ostracized and ridiculed by the ones you love. This is a story of rejection and loss, but also a powerful story of the triumph that comes with love.

“I believe telling our stories is a revolutionary act. An act that is somsetimes met with hostility, exclusion, and even violence. But it is also a powerful act that can lead to love, transcendence, acceptance, and eventual community.”
