Synopsis: VISIBLE (2018) Explores questions around the invisibility of QTIPOC history in the UK. Campbell was the consulting editor of documentary Queerama (2017) directed by Daisy Asquith.

How do QPOC find out about our history? How can we know about our history when so much becomes myth and gossip or when historians research through a Eurocentric ciscentric heteronormative paradigm? VISIBLE explore the challenges of QPOC history. VISIBLE is directed by Campbell X and produced by Kayza Rose.
