South Africa, 2008: Eudy Simelane was a Football hero. One of the first openly gay players to ever play on the national team, born and raised in the township of Kwa-Thema. She was changing the game - quite literally. She was a vocal gay rights activist and dedicated hours to Aid work. But aged 31, her life was brutally and tragically taken from her. And what followed, was a long and hard fight for justice, in a legal system where gay people barely ever stood a chance. And in a world, where so-called “corrective-rape” is a national emergency.
