Synopsis
Young queer man and velvet-voiced Dalton Harris from rural Jamaica thought his dreams had come true when he won one of the world’s top talent competitions. He was the first non-British and Black man citizen to win UK’s The X Factor, and it came with a million-pound recording deal. But the thrill of a lavish lifestyle and new boyfriend, and the launch of his first single soon sours. He becomes the target of homophobic death threats, predominantly from his home country – a nation with one of the highest rates of anti-LGBTQ violence in the world. This documentary filmed over two years captures Dalton’s search for love and acceptance.
