Who's there? Micro Rainbow's new film Alex had hidden who he was all his life. He was never able to be open about himself or his sexuality. He was hiding in plain sight, living like a ghost. Even after fleeing Malawi and reaching the UK, he was not safe to be truly himself. It was only when he got to Micro Rainbow safe housing and met Gabe – who was open and unapologetic about himself and his sexuality – that he began to become whole. It’s still illegal to be #LGBTQI in more than 60 countries – including Malawi, where Alex is from. And LGBTQI people fleeing persecution are still not safe when they reach the UK. Micro Rainbow provides safe, inclusive housing for LGBTQI people seeking protection in the UK. Micro Rainbow now has 30 safe houses across England and Wales, and can offer over 40,000 safe bed-nights a year to people like Gabe and Alex. Help us raise awareness of our work – share our film! Cast Gabe: Olly Roy Ghost/Alex: Melvin St James Crew Director/Producer: Tom Paul Martin DOP: Natalja Safronova Gaffer: Michal Kedracki Make-Up Artist: Hanni Wellian

We are proud supporters of @MicroRainbow and the work it does to support #LGBTQI people fleeing persecution. Now with 30 safe houses, they can provide safe and inclusive housing for even more people like Gabe and Alex. Watch the film to learn more: bit.ly/3EMkeL3
