Iconic activist, Ted Brown, has spent his life fighting for queer and black identities. As millions celebrate London Pride’s 50th anniversary, Ted is adoring the attention around the landmark event he helped to create. But hidden behind the photoshoots and ceremonies is a grieving man. Ted has just lost the love of his life, Noel, to dementia. Worse, Noel had experienced severe homophobic abuse during his final days, leaving Ted to question the true impact of his own activism. Through the media buzz, the boozy awards, the grief counselling sessions and the lonely nights, our coming-of-age documentary follows Ted in the months leading up to the anniversary of Noel’s passing. Can Ted rediscover his faith in activism to mount one last campaign for Noel and LGBTQ+ rights?
