Advancing equality in film through inclusive storytelling
UK-based The People's Film Club raising funds for Russian LGBT Network

They are scheduling screenings of the documentary film Paragraph 175, about Nazi persecution of gay men and women, across the United Kingdom. These screenings will raise funds for the Russian LGBT Network to help combat the detention and torture of LGBT people in Chechnya.
