Regional Premiere of Straightlaced, Nov 16
Via Laura Smidzik.
Join us for this onetime event!
Don’t miss the regional premiere of this powerful new documentary STRAIGHTLACED.
Candid interviews with more than 50 teens from diverse backgrounds give a fearless look at a highly charged subject. STRAIGHTLACED unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens. Their stories reflect a diversity of experiences, demonstrating how gender role expectations and homophobia are interwoven, and illustrating the different ways that these expectations connect with culture, race and class. From girls confronting media messages about culture and body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they aren’t gay, this fascinating array of students opens up with brave, intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all our lives.
