Milind Soman Made Me Gay| 26mins
Director: Harjant Gill | Producer: Harjant Gill
Focus Years: 2007 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
In 1995, the Indian government charged Bollywood superstar Milind Soman with obscenity for appearing nude in a shoe advertisement. Under the rhetoric of preserving nation's morality, these charges were carried out using old colonial laws that are still evoked to restrict desire and persecute homosexuality in India today. "Milind Soman Made Me Gay" is a conceptual documentary about desire and notions of home and belonging. The film employs a unique mix of visual elements along with voice-over narration to juxtapose memories of the filmmaker's past against stories of three gay South Asian men living in the diaspora. Overshadowing these nostalgic explorations of life back home, are harsh realities of homophobia and racism in America and an ongoing struggle to find a place of belonging.
