How did Slovenia, a small Alpine country, become a center for LGBT activism and queer culture? This new documentary reveals 35 years of the LGBT movement in Slovenia, starting in 1984 with the Magnus Gay Culture Festival, the launch pad for a greater social movement within the country. That vibrant scene built the picturesque capital, Ljubljana, into a haven of progressiveness and inclusion within the former Yugoslavia, only to encounter pushback after Slovenia declared independence.
