LESS Documentary

“This is not a film that will make you feel sorry for the people in it. It’s one that will challenge your perceptions about youth homelessness, about LGBTQIA+ identities and about the intersecting impact of homophobia, transphobia and racism in a country wracked by more than a decade of austerity. People share their experiences of survival, friendship and community that many people will recognise and which you cannot fail to be impressed by.”

“The damage that anti-LGBT+ rhetoric causes is horrific, and stretches into every area of a LGBT+ person’s life – their relationships, their sense of self, their ability to cope at school and their work prospects. I am really honoured to take part in this ground-breaking documentary that lifts the lid on the trauma that is being inflicted, and so highlights the serious safeguarding issues that religious organisations and cultural groups face.”

“Less tells a nuanced story of how marginalisation, family rejection, conversion therapy, and other social barriers put queer people at risk. It’s critically important that we unpack the many complex issues that lead to homelessness and housing insecurity in Britain so we can address them as a community.”
