Synopsis

Out is a spirited overview of the lives and struggles of lesbian and gay youth in Canada. In this groundbreaking film, director David Adkin covers a broad range of concerns as he breaks the silences, smashes the stereotypes, and boldly brings out a new generation of outspoken, articulate, and proud lesbian and gay young people. The film's rich cross-section of interviews reflects a diversity of economic backgrounds, religious, ethnic, and cultural heritages. Frank interviews with parents, along with discussions of homophobia, coming out, and finding community make the film a great primer for young people, gay and straight.

Against an image-track of sensually resonant found footage, Greta Snider's gay friends speak honestly, if somewhat disturbingly, on this mostly uncharted area of the lesbian and gay community psyche.

Synopsis

This riveting documentary offers the most dynamic historical overview of gays and lesbians in modern American society since Before Stonewall. Focusing on the contemporary religious Right Wing proliferation of curative therapies for homosexuality, One Nation Under God offers historical context as well as a political analysis of a frighteningly large movement. Extensive archival footage conveys the history of attempts to cure, discourage, and stigmatize homosexuality through medical and psychiatric pathologies. Archival interview footage of the scary, straight-faced authorities of the ‘50s and ‘60s are contrasted with today's experts on "reparative therapy." Featuring interviews with individuals currently involved with the ex-gay movement, the film's highlight is its interview with the ex-ex-gays, Gary and Michael, cofounders of the ex-gay organization, Exodus International. Gary and Michael, who fell in love with each other and denounced the movement, speak candidly, with warmth and humor, about their own personal, spiritual, and political growth. Winner of the 1993 San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary.
