Human Rights Festival: Jose

Guatemala / USA 2018 | 85 mins | Cert: 15 | Director: Li Cheng

19-year-old José’s life in Guatemala City is routine and aimless until he finds passion, pain and self-reflection through a relationship with a Caribbean migrant. This feature film delicately depicts the hardship of being gay in a fraught cultural environment, where machismo and religion take centre stage. In Spanish with English subtitles.
