The Many Lives of Kojin

Pride 2024 • 1h 27m

Directed by Diako Yazdani • Documentary • 2020 • 88 minutes

Diako Yazdani, an Iranian Kurd and political refugee in France, goes to Iraq with Kojin, a 23-year-old gay friend. He confronts - with a great sense of humor - his devout family, friends and other members of the Kurdish community with their prejudices on homosexuality.  He draws the portrait of a society where homosexuality seems not to exist.  It also forces us to look at this as a mirror of how we deal with minorities.
