Queer Edward II

Overview

Spring 1991: As queer life is under attack in Britain, experimental artist Derek Jarman is turning Edward II into a radical protest film. Told through unseen behind-the-scenes footage, this is a story of the power and cost of queer visibility — then and now.

Directed by Theo Rollason
