Tune into @foregroundorg on Friday June 26, 2026 hosted by @joshjenks and @MichaelxWard 📽📽📽
Before streaming and before audiences had seen queer love on screen. Join us for a virtual screening of DAKAN (1997), the groundbreaking film and the first feature from West Africa to center queer love. 📅 June 26 @ 9 PM ET 💻 Free & virtual 🔗 intheforeground.org/events
If God were fair, he'd let me bear your child.
A clip from the 1997 film DAKAN, one of the first West African films to center homosexuality. More than two decades later, DAKAN remains a landmark of queer cinema and a reminder of the legacy of Black queer storytelling across the diaspora. #Dakan #QueerCinema #AfricanCinema

Hey family - April 10 is #NYHAAD. We’re proud to be part of a week of action with @AdvocatesTweets. Join us for a free screening of DAYBREAK (1993), a dystopia that still echoes today: restricted care, silenced voices. 📅 April 10, 9PM ET 🔗 intheforeground.org/events
In DAYBREAK (1993), Torch (Cuba Gooding Jr.) recounts what happened to his beloved Ellen, a reminder of stigma and state control. Decades later, it still echoes: restricted access to care + silenced voices. Join us Friday, April 10, 9PM ET (free) 🔗 intheforeground.org/events
Some stories don’t reflect their time, they echo forward. Join us April 10 (9PM ET) for a free virtual screening of DAYBREAK (1993) w/ Advocates for Youth + Gran Varones. A chilling vision of state control amid an epidemic. Eerily relevant today. RSVP: intheforeground.org/events
