Howard Brackett's life is turned upside down when one of his former students, who is now a movie star, refers to him as being gay during the Academy Awards telecast. Howard denies the assertion and is only days away from marrying the fiancée he's managed to hold at bay for a full three years. A slick and aggressive TV reporter is determined to get Howard to speak the truth.

 

This series allows us to explore complex topics. Due to adult content and mature themes, viewer and participant discretion is advised.

The program will be presented online using Webex. Registration is required. Registered participants will receive an email with instructions on how to join the meeting. Don't see the email? Check your spam folder.

The Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance has partnered with Burton Barr Central Library to produce a program featuring a series of award-winning films that showcases the experiences of the LGBTQ community. The series highlights the artistic contributions both nationally and internationally of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender films and filmmakers. Our goal is to create a diverse film series that educates, entertains, and offers the viewer an opportunity to experience the challenges and triumphs firsthand.
