Post-production is underway for "Our Colors Never Fade," a documentary focusing on LGBTQIA+ Ukrainians who defended their country during Russia's invasion. Directed by Jim McSherry, the film is set for release in 2025 and is fully funded. The documentary highlights the experiences of LGBTQIA+ soldiers and civilians, showcasing their sacrifices and resilience amid conflict. It aims to shed light on their roles in the war and challenge societal norms regarding their identities. In contrast to Russia's increasing hostility towards LGBTQIA+ individuals, Ukraine's parliament has passed laws against hate speech and is considering legal recognition for same-sex partnerships. The film seeks to educate audiences about the LGBTQIA+ community's contributions and struggles during the war.
