โฆ Synopsis
Set in The Gambia, The Order of Nature follows Andrew, an American, and Thomas, a Gambian, navigating an environment where their love is illegal. At first, both believe it is possible to develop a relationship in even the most trying circumstances. But as their relationship strengthens, the homophobia that envelops them becomes more hostile; the politics of prejudice catches up. Exposed and arrested, they are forced to confront what it means when your existence is considered a crime, your love against the order of nature. In the fight for global LGBTQ human rights, The Order of Nature is a critical reminder of the human cost of discriminating against people on account of who they are and who they love.
