Reel Queer: Queer As Punk

Directed by Yihwen Chen
Starring Farris Saad

Faris is a transman and lead singer of ‘Shh..Diam!’. As an openly queer punk band in a conservative Muslim Society they must fight for every opportunity to celebrate LGBTQI+ rights.

Faris, together with his bandmates Yon and Yoyo, faces rising discrimination and adversity in a country with ever growing restrictions on freedom of expression. Determined to use their platform to spread the message of love and freedom they attempt to play on, despite the growing dangers.

Does it get more punk than that!
