I’m Kasim, 25 years old, and this is my first year with Kino Asyl. I have been living in Germany for seven months. I am a law graduate. In Uganda, I was a lawyer specializing in human rights and humanitarian law. I have been involved in film since 2016. In Uganda, I participated in various film productions. I joined Kino Asyl so that I can speak about stories from my homeland that are never told. I want to provide an audience for those people in Uganda who otherwise have no opportunity to share their views and thereby strengthen the voice of the silent majority.
“I left Uganda and moved to Denmark to start a new life. And then I left Denmark and my job there as well to start over once again, because my family couldn’t accept that I’m queer. I mean, that’s exactly what “The Night I Left America” is about: making the hardest decisions.”
