Homosexuality in Europe Between Two Dictatorships I PART 2 | SLICE WHO

Jan 26, 2026 | Between the wars, being gay in Europe meant living under constant surveillance.

Through the personal memories of Pierre-Louis “Pilou”, this documentary traces a hidden life shaped by love, fear and repression.

From Paris to Italy, from quiet freedoms to fascist crackdowns, his story reveals how homosexuality was tolerated, medicalized, then criminalized. As Nazism and fascism spread, private lives became political threats.
