But behind the beauty lies a more complicated truth. You see, this isn’t just a story about ballet. It’s about devotion, ambition and the cost of surrendering yourself entirely to something.

It’s about the people who graced that famous stage - and what became of them.

What does the future look like for Qatar, football, and the people we’ve spoken to?

Sports broadcaster Kate Mason finds out more about the precarious situation of the LGBTQ+ community in the country and speaks to the only publicly gay Qatari. After officials were in a standoff with Danish broadcasters this week, Kate also explores Qatar's media environment and asks whether this World Cup will – really – be a wake-up call for the football community.
