What We Carry With Us: LGBTQ+ Refugee Storylab

ABOUT What We Carry With Us: LGBTQ+ Refugee Storylab

On the run in East Africa, a young trans man’s earring wards off evil. In a refugee camp, a growing LGBTQ+ community weaves rainbow bracelets to wear in a daring act of solidarity and resistance. Armed with a new US passport, a refugee from Central America visits her grandmother and faces down death threats.

When you’ve nearly lost everything, what do you cherish most?

Frameline presents the world premiere of the latest suite of micro-documentaries created in refugee storylabs produced by Citizen Film. Watch now on Frameline’s YouTube channel.
