Under the Rainbow

Under the Rainbow is a short documentary featuring Shaunee Gaffney, a queer high school student facing family rejection, hunger, and homelessness. After being thrown out of home, she finds herself couch-surfing with strangers and living a life of daily insecurity and vulnerability. It is through Shaunee's story of resilience, combined with insights from service providers and researchers, that we learn of the many root causes that contribute to the high incidence of poverty in queer and trans communities in BC. Produced by the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition, this is an inspiring film that provides hope for the future.
