SUMMARY:Film Discussion: Brother Outsider
DESCRIPTION:On November 20\, 2013\, Bayard Rustin was posthumously awarded the prestigious\nPresidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. Who was this man? He\nwas there at most of the important events of the Civil Rights Movement – but always\nin the background. BROTHER OUTSIDER asks “Why?” It presents a vivid drama\,\nintermingling the personal and the political\, about one of the most enigmatic figures\nin 20th-century American history. \nOne of the first “freedom riders\,” an adviser to Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and A.\nPhilip Randolph\, organizer of the march on Washington\,was  intelligent\, gregarious\, and\ncharismatic\, Bayard Rustin was denied his place in the limelight for one reason – he\nwas gay. This film contributes a fascinating new chapter to our understanding of both\nprogressive movements and gay life in 20th-century America. \nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film\n(Course ID #207165)

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - The Pearl
DESCRIPTION:An intimate and cinematic profile of 4 transgender women that come out for the first time in their senior years. Set against the backdrop of logging towns in the Pacific Northwest\, the visceral and observational story captures the indelible moment in time as they begin the long journey towards acceptances. \nComing out as trans after decades of hiding from those closest to them\, theirs is a story not of transitioning into womanhood\, but rather explores what it means to leave behind living as a man. \n“…one can’t help but emphasize with the four women as they experience their travails and triumphs.

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Screaming Queens
DESCRIPTION:EMMY Award-winning Screaming Queens tells the little-known story of the first known act of collective\, violent resistance to the social oppression of queer people in the United States – a 1966 riot in San Francisco’s impoverished Tenderloin neighborhood\, three years before the famous gay riot at New York’s Stonewall Inn. \nScreaming Queens introduces viewers to street queens\, cops and activist civil rights ministers who recall the riot and paint a vivid portrait of the wild transgender scene in 1960s San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Mommie Dearest
DESCRIPTION:Outrageous and controversial\, this is the story of legendary movie star Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) as she struggles for her career and battles the inner demons of her private life. This torment was manifested in her relationships with her adopted children\, Christina (Diana Scarwid) and Christopher (Xander Berkeley). The public Crawford was a strong-willed\, glamorous object of admiration\, but Mommie Dearest reveals the private Crawford\, the woman desperate to be a mother\, adopting her children when she was single and trying to survive in a devastating industry that swallows careers thoughtlessly. The rage\, the debilitating strain\, and the terrifying descent into alcoholism and child abuse are graphically – and unforgettably – depicted in this film\, based upon Christina Crawford’s best-selling book. \nKanopy Link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/11222390 \nPHXYou Registration: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film (Course ID #120771) \nWebEX link will be provided through the PHXYou registration

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Beyond the Straight and Narrow: Queer and Trans Television in the Age of Streaming (2023)
DESCRIPTION:This documentary picks up where “Further Off the Straight and Narrow” left off in 2006. How did the rise of LGBTQ visibility\, political progress\, and digital technologies in the 2000s come together to offer the abundance of complex queer and transgender representations we see today? The streaming services Netflix and Amazon Prime attracted audiences’ attention with nuanced and intersectional queer and trans narratives when they debuted the original series “Orange is the New Black” and “Transparent.” Legacy channels had to develop more complex and sustained LGBTQ storylines to compete. Queer and ally showrunners use their growing influence to create well-written\, diverse roles\, and audiences hold producers accountable through social media. And when viewers don’t see images that represent them in the media mainstream\, a rich array of independent web series offers authentic\, community-sustaining narratives. Our digitally connected world circulates mainstream and independent queer and trans television through both official and informal networks. Yet queer and trans television is facing cultural challenges to the presence of LGBTQ in our media\, our schools\, athletics\, and public space. And as distribution channels are moving from niche to mass audiences once again\, we cannot take for granted that distinctive LGBTQ characters and plotlines will be a taken-for-granted staple of our television universe. Long-fought cultural struggles persist over who gets to exist in our national imagination. \nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film – Session 026 (Course ID # 119398) \nKanopy Link – https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/13744220 \nWebEx link will be provided after registration in PHXYou

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Rainbow’s End – The European LGBTQ Movement (2006)
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow’s End is a revealing and entertaining multinational journey throughout Europe\, examining the progress of the LGBTQ movement during the mid-aughts. From parades and protests in Warsaw and Krakow to touching personal stories with social\, religious and political insights\, the film delves in every corner of the debate from street activism to the United Nations in Geneva\, Switzerland. A starting point for any relevant discussion regarding LGBTQ rights within Europe and throughout the world.

SUMMARY:LGBT+: A History in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:LGBT+: A History in Arizona\nArizona’s history of the LGBT+ community begins long before Arizona was a state with the Native American belief of two-spirits and continues through to the seismic shift of Civil Union/ Marriage Equality. There are some surprises along the way such as artists and Arizona connections to Warhol\, Keith Haring\, and those muscle magazines by George Quaintance. Where was the Trans Flag created and where is it now? There is also the little-known story of a 1906 Russian gender pioneer named Nicolai De Raylan. \nAn Emmy nomination for sharing Arizona history is just the latest recognition for Marshall Shore\, Arizona’s Hip Historian. His passion is uncovering the weird\, the wonderful\, and the obscure treasures from our past: the semi-forgotten people\, places\, and events that have made us who we are today. Shore uses storytelling magic\, found film footage\, old photographs\, ephemera\, and artifacts to bring our state’s heritage to life in entertaining and educational presentations. He has developed an almost cult-like following for sharing history through in- person and virtual events. \nBurton Barr Central Library on June 9th at 2pm

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Proper Pronouns (2020)
DESCRIPTION:There are 30 transgender\, ordained ministers in the United States. Six are in North Carolina. Dawn Flynn\, Mykal Shannon\, Liam Hooper\, and Debra Hopkins fight intolerance and discrimination in the Bible Belt and battle narrow-mindedness within the religious community\, fellow state natives\, and their own families. \nIn particular\, the film follows Dawn\, who at 61-years-old was publicly outed by a hairdresser. Being forced to reveal her double life sent Dawn on a downward spiral that cost her pastoral license\, ministry\, threatened her marriage\, and made her wonder if life was still worth living. After therapy and deep self-reflection\, Dawn fought back\, making to decision to transition and start her journey to reclaim her life\, finally finding the courage to embrace her truth and the calling to help others embrace theirs. But her battle for this new life left collateral damage such as her 30-year-marriage to her wife\, Pam. \nPROPER PRONOUNS is an observational film. In order to live as their authentic selves\, some of their loved ones experienced personal identity crises. Each minister bravely preaches from a pulpit despite the danger they face not only as a transgender person living in the South\, but also as transgender ministers navigating their way through local\, state\, and national governing bodies who decide what it means to be a human being. \nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film – Session 023 (Course ID # 119395) \nKanopy Link – Kanopy Link – https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/11421590

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Global Homophobia: The Roots of Hatred (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Global Homophobia: The Roots of Hatred (2019) \nThis hard-hitting documentary reveals the abuse suffered by the gay community all over the world. France\, despite having legalized gay marriage in 2013\, has seen a rise in homophobic violence in recent years. \nIn Tunisia\, gay people can be sentenced to three years in prison\, simply for their sexual orientation. When arrested by the police\, they are subject to an “anal examination”\, a humiliating procedure of no scientific value. Uganda is one of the 27 sub-Saharan countries in which homosexuality is repressed\, with active state-encouragement of homophobia\, and where homosexuality is punishable by lifetime imprisonment. In the United States\, more progressive laws have not translated into progressive attitudes. 700\,000 Americans\, in a desperate attempt to change their sexual orientation\, have gone to see therapists who claim to be able to “transform any homosexual into a heterosexual. \nKanopy Link – https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/11141448 \nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film – Session 022 (Course ID # 119394) \nWebEx link will be provided after registration in PHXYou

SUMMARY:Film Discussion - Becoming More Visible: Young Transgender Adults on a Journey to Become More Visible
DESCRIPTION:Are you Male or Female? For the four fearless young transgender adults featured in the film this is not a simple question. These four defy societal norms to be their true selves and become more visible. No transition is easy\, but for some it is easier than for others. \nBECOMING MORE VISIBLE shines a humanizing light on their different stories\, both their struggles and their triumphs\, and showcases the importance of having a steady support system. The film also briefly goes over the physical process some of them decide to take in transitioning. \nKanopy Link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/439345 \nPHXYou Registration: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film – Session 017 (Course ID #118227) \nWebEX link will be provided through the PHXYou registration
