MFAH Films, in collaboration with Q-Fest present:

Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives

Quite possibly as relevant today as it was upon its debut, Word Is Out is widely considered the first feature-length documentary on gay and lesbian identity. Offering a vastly different perspective than the common views of the time, the film presents twenty-six diverse gay and lesbian individuals, who with profundity, honesty, and humor, describe their struggle to live a decent life in America, despite prejudice, discriminatory laws, and society´s unwillingness to treat them with respect and equality.

One of the producers of the film is Houstonian Tracy Gary, who recalls, "I was 25 when I helped produce Word is Out and it changed my life forever, as it did for all of us and the country. It remains one of my favorite set of memories of a time in which all things were transcended with love, persistence, and patience."
