Il massacro della Guyana / 19795.01 voti

This horrific dramatization of the Guyana tragedy traces the steps of Reverend Jim Jones, a highly charismatic, but profoundly paranoid clergyman, who after years of evangelism and good deeds, begins his own church in the mid-western United States. When Jim Jones becomes increasingly obsessed with the belief that the CIA is "a wicked enemy" who is out to get him, he emigrates with his congregation to Guyana, where he plans to create a utopia. But Jim Jones' utopia consists of a society where he demands his followers turn their minds, bodies and possessions over to him, one that is rife with orgies, physical violence, mental torture, and sexual abuse of children and adults. Ultimately, Jim Jones' paranoia reaches a fevered pitch that culminates in him taking savage action against his own congregation. (VCI Home Video)

Nous, homos de Guyane / 2019

Their names are Chrys, Emiliano, Moïse, Yannick ... Whether they live in Cayenne or in more remote areas of Guyana, they often face the same insults: dirty makoumé ("dirty homo" in Creole). In this department, homosexuality remains a taboo. To avoid discrimination, insults and family rejection, most men choose to remain as discreet as possible. Some of them even prefer to deny themselves completely, pretending to adhere to the classic pattern: woman and child (ren). This documentary proposes, through several stories and destinies, to tell the situation of the male homosexual community in Guyana, to understand the multiple reasons for this taboo and to highlight those who work to thwart it.

A man of transmission, he has tirelessly shared his knowledge of tales, proverbs, language, dances, carnival... In order to find its origins, he had to undertake a fascinating journey into the cultures of the whole world.
