Commissioned by OutRight International and produced by a South African Production Company, Doti Productionz, this films looks briefly at the economic inclusion of LGBTIQ Africans. “The most important thing of any economy is the freedom to be who you are. To offer your talents and not to be excluded through color bar or sexuality,” explains Xhanti Payi an economist with Nascence Advisory and Research. Pierre Brouard, Deputy Director for the Study of Aids South Africa, cites a recent study on emerging economies that showed a link between more progressive climates for LGBTI people and other economic indicators in society.
