Bridging the Gap plot

The documentary follows 26-year-old Dutchman Daniel Knoop, who leaves for Africa full of ambitions and ideals to work for sustainable poverty reduction. In Cameroon, Daniel is confronted with the rules and bureaucracy of the international community and the ubiquitous corruption. He has to hide his sexuality from his African environment; confessing homosexuality is punishable here. When his friend in the Netherlands breaks up, he throws himself fully into his work and this new world full of contradictions. But can he make a difference in a world that isn't his?
