Plot summary
As thousands of athletes prepare to compete on the global stage at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Olympic gold medallist and double world champion diver Tom Daley wants to shine a light on an issue that he cares passionately about. Some competitors live in fear of horrific brutality inside the countries they represent. With punishments including whipping, life imprisonment and even death, it is illegal to be gay in over half of the 56 member states of the Commonwealth. His journey takes him to some of the Commonwealth's most homophobic countries to ask what the sporting world can do to help. The film culminates with Tom taking a very public stand at this year's opening ceremony, in a powerful statement against homophobia.

A very interesting and thought provoking documentary actually, with Tom Daley proving to be a rather engaging and thoughtful presenter.
I hope this goes some way to spark a sense of change.
Good stuff.

Although he actually backtracks on the point of this as obviously it alienates him from the games he hypocritically contradicted all this to say it's ok to compete there.
Let's be honest British people like me are privileged and we have things better than most and even though society is regressing as social media has created a generation of people to lazy to make change happen but outraged enough to tweet and get the real people outraged. All the Celebs don't donate much or turn up to rally's nope just the minimum wage people hey!
To clarify I think hate on gender, sexuality or race is illogical, ridiculous and just stupid. We all just want to be happy! Simple.
However, it's also very easy to go from a country where life is very easy to go to places with different cultures and under developed or even backwards societal rules. It's easy to shame even big countries like India, china and USA for the many human injustices and awful laws and treatments of people but that's not trendy.
We live in a country that's going to price millions of people out of being able to eat comfortably soon let alone enjoy anything they've earned by working hard because they keep accepting raising every price and bill and never things like wages, they'll throw some token money at you like covid times but it'll all just be taken back in another way eventually.
It's very easy to cherry pick things to make other cultures look awful but it's just glorifying hate, not trying for change, it's just shaming countries when let's be honest there are far more disgusting human rights issues in countries than excepting sexualities, whilst important it's just more trendy tv rubbish ignoring real problems where people are being treated like less than nothing.
