Inspired by true events. Rural England, early 2013. Ruth and Juliet are waiting for the British Parliament to legalize same-sex marriage. While Ruth is struggling to gain the support of her family – who is resenting her for not shying away from her sexuality – Juliet suffers from a terminal illness and doesn’t have long to live. They are racing against time.
BASSEM BEN BRAHIM | TUNISIA | 2023 | 24 MIN | ARABIC EST
Through a fusion of animation and real-life footage, Queer individuals from the Big Maghreb region share their stories, spanning across their home countries and various locations worldwide. These individuals have courageously shattered societal taboos surrounding their gender and sexuality, defying legal, social, and familial pressures, even among those who have chosen to distance themselves from their families.
2Spirit and Indigiqueer perspectives and experiences. These proud and loud voices use both narrative and documentary strategies to share their stories, their spaces and their realities.
