Tagesspiegel, one of Berlin's leading newspapers, published a beautiful feature about The Queer Face of War just ahead of its worldwide release next week.
Here's a bit from the intro (translated from German):
The US journalist and photographer J. Lester Feder has reported on the fates of queer people in wars on several occasions, for example in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. But he was never able to use their names or show their faces. This relative invisibility of queer people in war zones often meant that they were overlooked in peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and legal post-war processes. When Russia began its war against the whole of Ukraine, Feder traveled to the country and neighboring states to interview queer people about their experiences, initially through local NGOs.
