CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARY ABOUT LGBT SENIORS GOING BACK INTO THE CLOSET WINS BEST DOCUMENTARY AWARD AT THE NATION’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS LGBT FILM FESTIVAL: FRAMELINE
Stories of those that fought the first battles for equality now face so much fear of discrimination in care giving that they are hiding their lives – and partners – in record numbers.
After winning best documentary honors at more than ten festivals to date, the much talked about story of six LGBT older people faced with going back into the closet to survive, Gen Silent, has received its most important honor to date: the Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at Frameline, The San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
