In Canada and much of the west, it's easy to pat ourselves on the back regarding the advances made in the pursuit of equal rights for the LGBTQ2+ community. A WORM IN THE HEART follows queer Irish filmmaker Paul Rice and his boyfriend Liam, as they go under-cover, armed only with two cameras, to meet with the many heroic members of the LGBTQ2+ community in Russia who risk their lives living authentically under oppressive laws and prejudices.
Shot in six cities along the Trans-Siberian railway and utilizing intimate interviews about current Russian life, this documentary features deeply personal and moving accounts from activists and non-activists alike. A never before seen collection of emotionally driven stories captured on their journey that poignantly document the current state of the Russian LGBTQ2+ community.
