Unstoppable Change

From the colour and joy of Sydney World Pride to the bustling streets of Timor-Leste’s Pride March, the LGBTQIA+ community touches every one of us in solidarity. Change celebrates the global connections we share as a community, as individuals and as change-makers in a world where human rights are too easily at the mercy of political whims. UNSTOPPABLE CHANGE examines the ways in which the personal connections between local people inspire and galvanise others to demand change. UNSTOPPABLE CHANGE, takes you from the colour of Sydney World Pride to the Pride celebrations and the ongoing struggles for the dignity and human rights in Timor Leste. Mary Waterford, a human rights activist based in the Blue Mountains, leads you into the heart of Timor Leste. Her warmth and wisdom is as infectious as the joy and courage of the LGBT community with whom she works. Mary shows us ways in which her long term connections in Timor Leste grow from genuine and mutual engagement with human rights issues. She works alongside her Timorese friends, advocating for change. UNSTOPPABLE CHANGE is in pre-production and invites you to become a sponsor. We will travel to Timor Leste in June- July 2024 to interview participants and film at Dilli Pride March. We will continue to work in respectful consultation with Arcoiris, the Dilli based NGO. Interviews and dates are still being finalised. Any support will be gratefully received and acknowledged in the film credits.
