Réalisation
Appolain SIEWE
In Cameroon homosexuality is a crime. In 2013 young journalist Eric Lembembe was tortured and beaten to death because he was fighting for the recognition of gay rights. Shocked by this murder and its motives, the director returned to his native Cameroon. As he examines his own homophobic upbringing, he discovers first-hand that Lembembe's murder was not an isolated case.

Born in the 70s in Cameroon, where I graduated from high school. In 1997 I came to Germany to study. Screenwriting school in Berlin. The participation in various theater groups shaped my time at school and university and led me to the Deutsches Theater, where I improved my knowledge of drama in 2003-2004 under the direction of Oliver Reese (then chief dramaturg and current director at the Berliner Ensemble) and director Jürgen Kruse. Print journalist, editorial staff and assistant director on various TV & film productions. I have been working as a freelance video journalist since 2005. 2010 I founded the company Einheit-Filmproduktion with a focus on documentary films.
