God’s Own Country
God’s Own Country, a British drama about a sheep farmer’s (Josh O’Connor) relationship with a Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu), was a hit at the 2017 Sundance Film Fest, where it won the directing award in world cinema for first-time filmmaker Francis Lee.
The film is a visceral, at times violent depiction of how self-hate, societal stigma, and prejudice impact queer love.
Its themes resonate in a world where fear is threatening to close borders and reject outsiders.
