OUT in the Silence

film screening followed by discussion with filmmaker, Joe Wilson

OUT in the SILENCE captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson’s wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown. Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson’s journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who hav

e long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.

This event is part of the 2nd Annual Community-Based Learning & Research Expo.
