Film
This film tells the stories of Thai queer activists and people who are fighting oppression. These ""invisible"" people are rising up to demand for the rights and dignity that all human beings deserve. Queer activists are telling these stories because gender justice cannot exist without democracy.
In Southeast Asia, the fight for democracy has been ongoing and controversial throughout history. Democracy is simultaneously something that we have and do not have in common. We can relate to each other’s experiences under similar political and social contexts.
The Thai LGBTIQ movement has been actively engaged in the wider pro-democracy movement. This is the queer narrative we want to tell and the culture we want to foster with other countries in the region. It is a democracy that facilitates the movement and advocacy for inclusive and transformative LGBTIQ rights.
