I produced this video for All Out as part of an international campaign to raise awareness, and push back on, a law in Saint Petersburg, Russia that would make any and all forms of expression about LGBT life (books, film, TV, blogs, music) ILLEGAL. More background and context in a piece I wrote for Huffington Post on the topic.

More international LGBT campaign coverage
