The story follows three people of the LGBTQ+ community: a queer female, a transgender male, and a transgender female, living in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Each character takes us on a journey into their world, and shows us how Ivory Coast is trying to change the narrative of the LGBTQ+ community, changing the narrative about West Africa and continuously educating its people about the community within Africa.

'The Alternative' is screening in:
