Coming to DVD tomorrow, Tuesday, June 10: THE ABOMINABLE CRIME
Micah Fink’s exploration of the persecution of LGBT Jamaicans had its world premiere at Frameline last year. Its festival circuit has included DOC NYC, Montclair, QDocs, BFI London, St Louis, Reeling, and Outfest, among others.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program saying:
Exposing the roots of homophobia in Jamaican society, THE ABOMINABLE CRIME tells the story of a mother’s love for her child and an activist’s love for his country. It gives voice to Jamaicans like Simone Edwards, who survived an anti-gay shooting, and Maurice Tomlinson, a leading activist who is forced to flee the country after being outed. These personal accounts take the audience on an emotional journey traversing four years and five countries.
