GAY UGANDAN REFUGEE'S ODYSSEY TO VANCOUVER CHRONICLED IN FILM⠀ "We're not rescuing. We're not saving. We're walking in solidarity with them." So says Rainbow Refugee's Chris Morrisey in Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams new film Someone Like Me chronicling of a group of Vancouver strangers who come together to sponsor Drake, a gay refugee fleeing persecution in Uganda. "This is her life's mission and it's incredible," Horlor said of Morrissey's work depicted in the film premiering in Vancouver's 2021 DOXA Documentary Film Festival May 6-16. But, it's not just the tale of Drake, afraid of being killed for who he is in the virulently homophobic central African country. Through it run parallel threads of members of the circle working to assist him. Kay is an immigration lawyer on their own journey as a transgender person waiting for surgery. David is struggling in a job search. #Vancouver #immigration #LGBTQ #RainbowRefugee #Uganda (at Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/COk9qLChAfD/?igshid=z8c3csuiizmj
