‘Our Colors Never Fade’ To Document Wartime Experience Of Ukrainian LGBTQ Soldiers And Civilians

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Post-production is underway on Our Colors Never Fade, a documentary on LGBTQIA+ Ukrainians who sprang to the defense of their country after Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Jim McSherry directs and International Emmy winner Artem Lysak executive produces the feature film which is expected to be released in 2025.

Deadline understands the project is fully funded. “This documentary offers Ukraine through the lens of an unseen perspective, showcasing the untold stories of Ukrainians who, faced with an unprovoked invasion on February 24, 2022, refused to flee their homeland,” a release notes. “Instead, these ordinary citizens became frontline soldiers—such as a veterinarian swapping a stethoscope for a sniper’s rifle, a game developer exchanging storyboards for FPV drone manufacture and a father and son fighting together on the Front Line.

LGBTQIA+ military have worked tirelessly to not only provide safety for Ukrainian citizens but also for the abandoned animals left behind when their owners fled the fighting.
