My brother

My brother Bart died of AIDS in 1986, without him or the family knowing he had it. Growing up in a family and environment where talking was not evident at all, I want to break the silence I experienced around Bart’s illness and death.

Breaking Walls

Journalist Hao Yi fights internet censorship and advocates freedom of speech. He hides his homosexuality for his mother, and because of his mother he even married a woman. In a unique style of documentary and animation we follow Hao in his journalistic works and his quest for personal freedom. Can the two be combined?
