Description:

In a private, underground space, a "ball" takes place in Nairobi where LGBTQ+ members can feel safe. In a country where being queer remains criminalised, organisers say such events, and tolerance, are growing. But the predominantly conservative Christian nation remains overwhelmingly hostile to those living outside the accepted norms, and a new anti-LGBT bill threatens the community.
