Please join us for this very special screening. Many of the films subjects are local and will be present. A feature length documentary, “Out For The Long Run” looks at the lives of openly gay high school and college age athletes. Inspired by a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, the film's focus is on a handful of openly gay high school and college athletes as they navigate the turbulent waters of their uncertain world. Utilizing footage shot by our cameras and video diaries kept throughout the year, we will show the world a new generation of courage in what could be the most homophobic place on a high school campus: the locker room. At a time where young gay men and women are literally being bullied to death, this film's poignant message is, there is hope.
