Film festival highlights history and progress of LGBTQ community in Ukraine

This week, Ukraine is seeing its first-ever LGBTQ film festival in Kyiv. By showing 60+ films, organizers of the Sunny Bunny Film Festival hope to highlight LGBTQ rights and make queer Ukrainians more visible than ever. The World’s Bianca Hillier reports on the festival and how the queer community in Ukraine has become more visible since Russia’s full-scale invasion last year.
