Dispatches: Africa’s Last Taboo
Dispatches is Channel 4’s highly successful, sometimes controversial pioneering documentary series that critically covers a vast range of topics and areas.

He discovers the shocking levels of hate and prejudice that are driven not only by communities, but also religious organisations and governments, and meets some of the young men who have suffered because of their lifestyle.
Dispatches shows that homosexuality is not an African freedom as gay people live in constant fear of rejection by their communities, physical and verbal abuse, and even imprisonment.
