A Queer Country

A Queer Country explores the development of Israel’s buzzing LGBTQ community in Tel Aviv and the true story of how it came into being. Was it Tel Aviv’s charismatic mayor, controversially credited with pioneering the LGBTQ scene for commercial gain? Or a grassroots community fighting to express itself in a country dominated by religion? Interweaving the personal and political, the film is an intimate portrayal of Israel and its internal struggles - so often drowned out by the conflict at its borders.
