For many young LGBT+ people, our friends form a kind of surrogate family when our real families aren’t as accepting as we’d like them to be. But what if friendship sours? What if the friends we have don’t really know us at all, or aren’t ready to accept us for who we are? The four films in this programme take a look at troubled young friendships, exploring childhood and young adulthood with often brutal honesty, but also tenderness and tremendous insight.
