Synopsis
A queer white documentary theatre-maker thinks he’s investigating homophobia in Jamaica.
But what starts as a quest to expose an injustice, turns into a burning call for his own personal transformation.
How do we justly engage with an injustice? To whom does an injustice “belong”? Through a constellation of encounters — with activists, refugees, priests and ministers, journalists, artists, Pride Week revelers, and many queer people of colour – Small Axe asks us to bravely face our differences in order to discover how intricately connected we are.
