Uncaged 2023

A short film that charts the story of EL Sam, a queer British Syrian Musician and poet who fled the Syrian war at the age of 15 alone. The documentary explores how societal/religious pressures and parental rejection affects the mental health of a young person who was wired from a young age to believe that being queer is a defect. It explores a personal duality from experiencing two acutely different cultures post-immigration.
