Queer Fighters of Ukraine Trailer (2023)
Before the Russian full-scale invasion to Ukraine in 2022, subversive collective Rebel Queers would defy the hetero normative and patriarchal world that so suffocated them by scrawling on the walls of Kyiv: 'Queer Sex,' 'Make Queer Punk Again,' and 'Be Queer, Do Crime, Hail Satan,' among others. The driving force behind Rebel Queers is Angelika Ustymenko, a non-binary artist and filmmaker. When their country and community came under attack, they resolved to document the experiences of queer Ukrainians during wartime. On the first anniversary of the full-scale invasion, Angelika began a new phase of their documentary project, collaborating with Huck Docs to collect queer soldiers' reflections after a year of war and broadening the focus to include other forms of queer resistance.
