In Belgium’s asylum system, LGBTQIA+ seekers, many from worlds where silence meant survival, are asked to speak the unspeakable, recounting their most intimate wounds to strangers they’ve only just met. What does queerness look like when you've spent a lifetime erasing every trace of it to stay alive?
* Screens as part of the "In My Shorts 2" programme.
* Filmmaker Iqran Rasheed will attend the screening.
