The Commission - From Silence to Resistence

This documentary tells the story of nearly a decade of advocacy efforts at the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights. It chronicles the journey of the Coalition of African Lesbians’ resilience in the face of great hostility while attempting to gain deserved and earned Observer Status at the commission. Despite the African Commission’s sessions being days and weeks of meetings with long conversations, dense legal language and negotiations, generally a space that rarely inspires creative expression, the director has managed to successfully capture the stories behind the story, of the collective of people, individuals and organisations that rallied with CAL.
