DIFFICULT LOVE presents a lively personal take on the challenges facing Black lesbians in South Africa today. It features the life, photographs, work, friends and associates of "visual activist" and renowned photographer, Zanele Muholi (who also presents). How real are the freedoms of our new democracy for this diverse minority? This documentary offers a moving answer - and a compelling plea for understanding and tolerance.
Zanele Muholi is a South African artist. In 2009 she was awarded her Master of Fine Arts degree in Documentary Media from Ryerson University in Toronto. Her thesis mapped the visual history of black lesbian identity and politics in post-Apartheid South Africa.
