When brought to Athens, Greece in 2016 for a screening of his film Daddy, actor and filmmaker Gerald McCullouch (CSI, Physical, the BearCity trilogy) unexpectedly meets a group of LGBT refugees fleeing persecution from their communities, their governments, and their families who now find themselves trapped in Greece. Unable to move on to other parts of the EU, they face abuse, torture, rape and murder in the refugee camps so many are forced into a life of displacement. For years. Confounded by their circumstances, Gerald is compelled to document his education of a crisis facing countless members of his community who came to Greece under desperately different circumstances.
