Media Inspection: LGBTQIA+ Representation in Media

Join us as we look into LGBTQIA+ representation in the media, and on the experience of Coming Out!

It is a significant moment and the process of accepting one's identity and sharing it with others can be complex. This discussion hopes to unpack how the media portrays this experience and its possible implications through films Brooklyn Nine-Nine and One Day At A Time.

Bigger Than Us

Just like how the activists in this film are fighting for what they believe in, changemakers in Singapore are stepping up for causes they are passionate about. Join our post screening panels as we meet our special guests advocating for issues such as animal protection and indigenous cultures, to critical ecosystems and making Singapore (and the world) a better place.
