Pride & Protest is a product that emerged in the wake of the recent media frenzy around the Birmingham anti-LGBTQ+ protests. There were protests against relationships education in primary schools by a group of Muslim community members, a team of queer community reporters from various ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds in West London came together to challenge the persecution, intolerance and discrimination QPOC face, by voicing and showing their own life journeys in the form of a documentary project.
The film follows the journey participants embark on to discover who they are and how they can change such discriminatory stances through what they do allow them to grow stronger. In the face of bigotry, cultural rejection and racial ostracism, key QPOC actors rise by expressing their true selves loudly and proudly by living their truths within queer safe spaces where everyone can feel free to be who they are, unapologetically (Rainbow Films, Hungama, UK Black Pride).
