Worm in the Heart (A)

Director Paul Rice and his boyfriend Liam braved the wilds of Russia to make this documentary about the nation's homophobia. As the pair traverse the nation via the Trans-Siberian Railroad, they encounter the underground network of LGBTQ patriots determined to make Russia safe for queer people. Rice also discovers the reasons behind the country's recent attacks on the community - which should sound eerily familiar to anyone who lived through the Bush years in the United States. Filmmaking rarely gets this harrowing.
