In the second episode in our collection of unforgettable love stories from around the world we hear about Fleur Pierets and Julian Boom who wanted to wed in every country that allowed gay marriage. After falling in love at first sight, the artist couple wanted to make a statement to the world. So in 2017, they embarked on Project 22 - a performance art piece in which they would marry in all 22 countries where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. But four weddings later, their trip would be tragically cut short.
This interview was first broadcast in September 2023. The film adaptation of Fleur's book about Julian - also called Julian - will have its world premiere next month.
