Great Freedom a film from 2020 that depicts the gruelling cruelty inflicted on Germany's Gay and Bisexual citizens trying to live their lives. Incarceration stunted abilities to integrate back into the "rules" of living in the community. Falling foul, returned decent citizens time after time leading to depression and hopelessness. Cruel and harsh judges had a field day. Paragraph 175 of German Criminal Code, arrested released and rearrested endless cycle until 1968 removed from West Germany penal code in 1994. Age of consent "traps" continued to criminalise gay & bisexual citizens living their lives.

Image is the film poster for Great Freedom it is an image of the principle player depicting a man ground down by endless cycles of imprisonment, brief freedom spells, rearrest and reincarceration.

#GreatFreedom is well worth a watch about the cycles of despair that the despised #Paragraph175 condemned gay men in #Germany to. Ran from 5th May 1871 to 10th March 1994 blighting circa 140,000 lives.
