I am creating a documentary about growing up LGBT+ during the troubles in Northern Ireland, a piece of history that i feel is not openly discussed in my local community. I was inspired to make this documentary from the stonewall young campaigners project and i plan to educate people about LGBT issues as they need to be talked about especially in the North of Ireland where people may be more marginalised for who they are and who they love.

the money raised will aid me in buying filming equipment, advertising for the documentary as well as premiering it in the spring.

If you want to get further involved with this project use the #iwaspresent to post about your own findings of your own LGBT history in your country because this project isn't only about Northern Ireland but about the wider global community so people can share their own personal stories of LGBT+ history.
