Documentary Film, Out in the Silence

I can't say enough about this film. The story was moving and the video very well done. "Out in the Silence" is a documentary film by Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer. It is a story about Love, hate and a quest for change in small town America. In this case, Oil City Pa. Out in the Silence is a story about how a same sex marriage announcement started a firestorm of controversy, and hurassment of two gay teens in area highschools and how change was made....What made it so great for me was that I actually knew people in the movie! Janice and I are even seen quickly in a crowd scene as we were attending the meeting about adding sexual orientation to Pennsylvania's hate crime law.
We had a good turnout for this event too, and I am really glad that I was able to see this movie. There are still going to be showings in the area, the next one is in Oil City which should be really great to see the reaction there. We would like to head to that viewing as well. I will let you know the details soon!
Do you find this valuable?
