Using the phenomena as a catalyst to confront the authority figures around her, schoolgirl Lydia forces old secrets to rise to the surface and finds herself facing a truth she never expected.
A selection of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) short films popular with past audiences of the Shropshire Rainbow Film Festival. An emotional roller-coaster of fiction, poems, music and documentaries from around the world.
Shropshire Rainbow Film Festival is delighted in securing a Birmingham Pride LGBT Community Grant. Following the success of Birmingham Pride raising £75,136 last year (2014), a Pride Trust was independently formed to award a number of grants to LGBT community groups in the coming months and years.
