About the event
This one’s special…
Social Refuge & Queer Lit, in partnership with Rainbow Minds, are excited and honoured to bring you an Exclusive Charitable Screening of the multi‑award‑winning stop‑motion feature Two Black Boys in Paradise.
Based on the poem by Dean Atta and narrated by Jordan Stephens, Two Black Boys in Paradise is a tender and visually striking short film exploring the intimate emotional world of Edan (19) and Dula (18)—two young Black men navigating love, identity, and vulnerability. The film carries viewers through a poetic journey that mirrors the emotional highs and lows of coming into oneself and out into the world. Here, paradise is not just a place, but a fragile state of being—shaped and threatened by internalised fear, shame, and societal expectation.
Rainbow Minds will be sharing the vital work they do and how proceeds from this event will directly support their mission.
The creators of the film will be in attendance,…
