Stephen Fry sets out to find how gay people are actually treated in different parts of the world, moving from the relative safety of Britain and the United States to countries where homosexuality is criminalized or socially unspeakable. He sits with a Ugandan pastor who preaches that homosexuality can be prayed away, talks to activists in Russia navigating the country's ban on 'gay propaganda,' and meets men in Brazil living with the aftermath of anti-gay violence. Fry also turns the camera on his own life, revisiting his suicide attempt as a young man and asking public figures, including politicians and fellow celebrities, how much progress has actually been made since decriminalization in Britain. The tone shifts between conversational and confrontational depending on who he's facing, from sympathetic therapists to men who openly defend so-called conversion practices. Shot across multiple continents, the film treats attitudes toward homosexuality as a moving target, different in every country, and uses Fry's own history as the throughline connecting them.
