Behind the Numbers

Behind The Numbers raises the issue of socioeconomic exclusion of LGBTIQ+ persons. The film tells the stories of an intersex person from Zimbabwe, a lesbian couple from Bangkok, and a trans woman from the Netherlands who all run into the same heteronormative obstacles, but for different reasons. 

Made for the #FreetobeMe program of Hivos by Human Rights in the Picture and directed by Andy Funnell, Ruom shot and produced the section set in Thailand.
