Queer Fighters of Ukraine
Angelika Ustymenko, Alex King
Documentary : 30' / Community, Conflict, Queer

Before the Russian invasion, subversive collective Rebel Queers would defy the heteronormative and patriarchal world that so suffocated them by scrawling queer slogans on the walls of Kyiv. When their country and their community came under attack, they resolved to document the experiences of queer Ukrainians during wartime.
