CGiii Comment
The ten Armenian LGBTIQ* protagonists of this documentary have left their country of origin due to the current climate of homophobic repression. Although homosexuality was decriminalised in 2003, the queer community has been experiencing a growth of aggression over the last years. The documentary aims to give a voice to Armenians who are seldom heard and to present a positive image of diversity to counteract the negative picture of LGBTIQ* that currently predominates in the country.
