In 2014, Nigeria enacted the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, a law that criminalises same-sex relationships and legitimises hate and violence. This has led to a rise in brutality, creating a culture of fear that tears families apart, silences voices, and forces countless individuals to hide their true selves to survive. “Demons” is a tribute to those who fight every day for the right to love and exist, even when the world tells them they shouldn’t. This film is more than just a cinematic work; it is a call for change and action. It serves as a reminder that no one should have to conceal their identity or struggle for the right to love.

Saint Vassily explores the ideas of isolation, intimidation, and loyalty.
