| Summary: | A report on a Rainbow Railroad, a Canadian non-profit organization which works to help LGBT people living in countries where homosexuality is outlawed escape and seek asylum in other places. Rainbow Railroad's largest and most notable operation was relocating 31 Chechens. The increased donations they have received as a result of that accomplishment has allowed them to expand operations into other LGBT-hostile countries such as Jamaica and Egypt. Includes interviews with Rainbow Road clients Ahmed Alaa, Elton McDuffus, and others who wished to remain anonymous; well-known LGBT rights worker in Cairo Farida Abo Aouf; and Rainbow Road employee Kimahli Powell. |
