Sookee – Von Seepferdchen und Schränken (Sookee – On Seahorses and Cupboards) is the portrait of queer-feminist rapper and left-wing activist Sookee, who for years has been fighting against sexism, homophobia and racism in German hip-hop. And also fighting for her principles: tolerance and love instead of exclusion and putting people in drawers, honesty instead of arrogance, diversity instead of binary thinking, seahorses instead of cupboards.
