A documentary on confronting the demons of an openly-LGBT campaign, told by the people who ran and won.
In this feature-length documentary,
openly LGBT elected officials tell their stories of self-doubt and triumph,
revealing a deeply personal, rarely-seen side of politicians and gay people.
While each of them had unique barriers to overcome they also had similar feelings of fear, shame and doubt when coming out and later deciding to run for office. As they share how they broke through barriers, we experience the conflict between the barrage of anti-gay messages and the desire to live open and fulfilled lives. They broke through internally – by daring to believe something different than what they were told about LGBT people – and then externally as they pursued and achieved the future they envision. As they show it is possible to be authentic and achieve their dreams – even in the rough and tough world of politics – they give hope to those who are struggling. Help us tell their stories of courage and triumph. | Fiscal Sponsor
