Gena Marvin is a performance artist and LGBTQ+ activist from a town in Russia’s far east. They use social media, their identity and a series of remarkable costumes to stage protests in defiance of prejudice, war and police brutality. In a country where the Supreme Court has labelled the LGBTQ+ movement as “extremist” and banned LGBTQ+ activism, Marvin’s protests are acts of brave creativity that see them meet horrific bigotry and violence. An urgent documentary that lays bare the tragedy of Russia’s descent into authoritarianism.
