PRIDE & PROTEST
Dir: Blaise Singh 90 min | 2020 | UK | English | Documentary Feature | In Competition
After the media frenzy around the Birmingham anti-LGBTQ+ protests against relationships education in primary schools, by a group of Muslim community members, a team of queer community reporters from various ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds in West London came together to challenge the persecution, intolerance and discrimination QPOC face, by voicing and showing their own life journeys in the form of a documentary project. Pride & Protest is the filmic synthesis of the many conversations shared by the Rainbow Films team on important but often ignored issues met by QPOC about racism within the larger queer community, as well as issues around intersectionality and visible diversity in the more mainstream and white hetero-normative society they live in.
