About Gay Under the Taliban
For LGBTQ+ people living in Afghanistan, the years before the return of the Taliban saw life showing signs of slight improvement. But in 2021 all that progress quickly evaporated, and they were forced back into hiding. This film follows a handful of LGBTQ+ Afghans who are now terrified, persecuted and now hiding from individuals they had previously lived alongside peacefully.
Directed by Dan T. Hall, Gay Under the Taliban leans on a strong ensemble — Laya Lewis, Hemi Yeroham, Waleed Akhtar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
