More Details

This 90 second silent film is part of a "Queerosities" series of at least nine. The title and title cards dehumanize both people of color and people of faith. One assumes the participants filmed were not asked for their consent, and that the producers made little effort to inform themselves about the sacred cultural practice portrayed. The film is devoid of respect and seemingly purposefully ignorant on its subject. JJR (talk) 16:01, 9 December 2021 (EST)
