Radio Voorwaarts takes place on the eve of the eviction of an alternative community, home to a pirate radio station. We follow a single night in the life of an ensemble of misfits – artists, squatters, idealists and ravers – who gather one last time to simultaneously mourn and celebrate the end of their beloved space.

Aside from a film, Radio Voorwaarts evolved into a collective and platform through which to showcase different kinds of art and music, while keeping its particular focus on rave and squatting culture, emphasizing their importance as contemporary forms of protest, and not just historical curiosities.

“This documentary dives into the world of family members of LGBT’s in countries where being gay is illegal, or where strong stigmas exist. Of the entire social circle, it’s the parents in particular that experience the greatest dilemma, often feeling stuck between two worlds. They might even feel like they are ‘in the closet’ themselves. Any parent wants their children to grow up in an environment where they feel protected and loved in order for them to develop into unique human beings. Yet too many cannot openly talk about their kids for fear of being discriminated against themselves, losing friends, or even jeopardizing their own child’s safety.
