# Woubi Chéri (1998)

1998 · Documentary · France


## Synopsis

Woubi Chéri is a 1998 French/Ivorian documentary that shows a few days in the life of various members of the queer community in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. At the time of its release, it was one of the few films from Africa to deal with LGBT issues. While there is a sentiment held amongst indigenous Africans as a result of Western imperialism, colonialism, and Abrahamic imposition that queerness is foreign or non-African, this film argues against the heteronormative insistence within the continent.
