According to the 2021 census data, Ceredigion is home to one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ communities in the UK, but where is everybody?
This documentary delves into the queer representation in Ceredigion, meeting with LGBTQ+ people from the community and looking ahead to a plan for the future of Queer Ceredigion – an exploration of love, pain, and above all, resilience made for and by the people of Ceredigion with Iris Prize Outreach.
