Queer Latitudes Ecuador Trailer Released: Amplifying LGBTQ+ Migrant Voices
Exploring queer migration, identity, and resilience in Ecuador and beyond.
Hi everyone! We’re Renzo Esposito (director), Alexander Guano (co-producer), and Alice Norrell (co-editor) — a team of queer filmmakers, activists, and storytellers creating Queer Latitudes, a docuseries about LGBTQ+ migration, identity, and resistance across Latin America.
Our first chapter, filmed in Ecuador, explores what it means to be queer and displaced in a country that is both a destination and a passageway for many LGBTQ+ migrants. Through deeply personal stories of survival, activism, and self-expression, we shed light on the challenges and resilience of queer lives facing systemic exclusion and rising anti-LGBTQ+ backlash.
We’re excited to share the first trailer , offering a glimpse into the powerful voices and experiences we’ve captured so far. The project is grounded in over 30 in-depth interviews with migrants, trans organizers, artists, and public figures at the forefront of change in Ecuador.
Currently, we’re raising funds to complete the first documentary, which will enable us to build a digital visual archive — a lasting resource for activists, educators, and communities to access these stories and testimonies in their entirety.
At a moment when queer and trans people across Latin America face growing violence and invisibility, Queer Latitudes stands to amplify these vital voices, foster solidarity across borders, and challenge who gets to be seen and heard.
Any contribution helps us finish this work and share it widely — and if you can’t donate, sharing this with your network means everything. Thank you for standing with us to make queer lives visible and valued.
