SYNOPSIS
Documentary ‘Let there be colour’ is addressing the first Pride Parade held on 8 September 2019 in the centre of Sarajevo. Were people ready for that event? The film investigates the positions and feelings which the society has towards the LGBTQ community, and it also provides an insight into the protest walk against the Pride Parade held simultaneously in Sarajevo. To what extent our region is backward compared to the EU member states when it comes to human rights and to what extent any tolerance of discrimination can be dangerous?
