Richard & I saw this film on the closing night of the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Huntington, NY, with a group of six friends· We mostly agreed that it was a mediocre film with an important theme -- the plight of Arab and especially Syrians· "The whole concept of anybody being brave/foolhardy enough to publicly come out as a gay Syrian is tough enough to get one’s head around, but the very idea that there is such a thing as a Mr Gay Syria competition is beyond belief·" [See QueerGuru]· Richard says he was surprise to see how similar queer cultural expression among the Syrian refugees was to gay culture in the United States· It's a bit scary how much we have influenced the world.
