Silverback Mountain is a darkly comic adventure about love, identity, and survival, set against the absurd collision of gay culture and anti-gay persecution. When Mickey, a neurotic New York artist, and his flamboyant husband Andy set out on a “bucket list” trip to Uganda to see mountain gorillas, their romantic escapade spirals into danger in a country where being gay is a crime—forcing them to fight for love, freedom, and each other in the most unexpected jungle on Earth.
