GLORIOUSLY FREE
General Information

Time: One Hour
Produced by: Filmblanc
Available: Worldwide

GLORIOUSLY FREE is the first documentary to explore the world of gay immigration, and the desperate search of five young men to find welcoming arms outside their countries of birth where persecution and hatred of alternative lifestyles may lead to torture or death. What they find is Canada, leading the world as the safest haven for persecuted gays and lesbians.

We hear first person accounts from: Al-Hussein, who hails from a wealthy political family in Jordan; Julian, blackmailed and blacklisted in his homeland of Mexico; Bruno, who immigrated from Brazil and now make his living as a singer; David, a former U.S. Port Captain with a prominent Texas-based drilling company; and Frantz, a graphic artist from Jamaica.

Excluded from the opportunity to live freely in their native countries, these five remarkable and resilient young men tell stories of blackmail and violence.

Their compelling stories have global reach, as same sex partnerships fuel international dialogue about why North America – and Canada in particular - has softened their stance on same-sex preference and orientation. With some of the most progressive and liberal immigration laws for same-sex couples and gay and lesbian refugees, Canada’s unique policies are making it a country that is fast becoming the world’s unspoken symbol of sexual freedom.

GLORIOUSLY FREE has won the Golden Ribbon Award from the Canadian Broadcast Association as the best documentary in the social issues category.
