Ted & Noel
Dir: Julia Alcamo (she/her) – 25:00, UK
Ted Brown, an iconic 72-year-old activist of Jamaican heritage, has spent his adult life fighting for queer and black identities. As millions celebrate London Pride’s 50th anniversary, Ted is adoring the attention around the landmark event he helped to create. But hidden behind the photoshoots and ceremonies is an angry, grieving man. Ted has just lost the love of his life, Noel, to dementia. Worse, Noel had experienced severe homophobic abuse from care home staff during his final days, leaving Ted to question the true impact of his own activism.Through the media buzz, the boozy awards, the grief counselling sessions and the lonely nights, our coming-of-age documentary follows grief-stricken Ted in the months leading up to Noel’s 1st anniversary. Can Ted find the strength to mount one last campaign for LGBTQ+ rights?
