Golf Alpha Yankee, follows five gay Iranian refugees who’ve applied for political asylum in Turkey. It paints a deeply personal portrait of their lives-in-limbo as they await the UN’s decision about their future. Through intimate interviews, raw verite footage, and original animation, we become part of the inner world of these exiles. Living along with them, we experience their despair and debauchery, love and sex, fear, and hope.

Breaking the typical representation of refugees, the documentary is an empathetic and surprising look into the lives of gay men fleeing Iran. Heartfelt, hilarious, and risqué, the film shines an intimate light on the real life of the gay Iranian refugee.
