Event
The Believers @ LI Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
A fascinating and sympathetic exploration of the very complex relationships between the members of the Transcendence Gospel Choir, a choir of transgendered men and women, and their struggle to accept themselves and to understand their place in Christianity. The intimate personal stories shed light on the complexity of balancing social change, family history, religion and identity. At the heart of their dilemma is a struggle for acceptance in two worlds historically at odds with one another. As one of the film's subjects eloquently says, "I'm living in a window. I get to see both sides." The Believers is a unique story of determination and perseverance and an important look at the intricacy and diversity of spirituality and the LGBT Community.
