Everyone is welcome at Reel Queer, your monthly LGBTQIA+ cinema club celebrating queer stories, iconic filmmakers and unforgettable big-screen experiences from just £4 a ticket!
Faris is a trans man and the lead singer of ‘Shh..Diam!’. As an openly queer punk band in a conservative Muslim society, they must fight for every opportunity to celebrate LGBTQIA+ 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 carry on despite the increasing dangers.
