Through the story of Naz’s tragic death and the establishment of the Naz and Matt Foundation, Matt Mahmood-Ogston speaks with other gay Muslims who have faced similar struggles within their community. The result is a poignant and moving portrait of the challenges and resilience of this community, and a reminder of the importance of inclusion and acceptance.
The film is beautifully shot, with thoughtful and empathetic direction capturing both the emotional weight of the story and the courage of the young gay Muslims who share their experiences. Their contributions are brave and honest, offering an illuminating perspective on a complex and often taboo topic.
Overall, ‘My God, I’m Queer’ is a deeply touching film that honours the memory of Naz and celebrates the bravery and resilience of those who continue to fight for acceptance and understanding. It is a powerful reminder of the tragedy that homophobia and intolerance can bring, and the importance of love, kindness and inclusivity for every single one of us. Highly recommended for anyone touched by the struggle for universal human rights.
In this film Matt goes on a journey to try and understand the challenges of what it’s like to be queer and Muslim, in the hope of preventing another young LGBT+ person taking their own life.
