Details
Please consider joining at the historic Miracle Theatre in the Capitol Hill neighborhood for a showing of Stuck in Greece: An LGBT Refugee Crisis, which features a group of LGBT refugees fleeing persecution from their communities, their governments, and their own families, and now finding themselves trapped in Greece. This film deals with sensitive topics such as physical violence, sexual violence, and discrimination.
Following the film, we will have a filmmaker Q&A with the Director, Gerald McCullouch. Gerald (pronounced with a hard 'G') McCullouch is an award winning filmmaker and actor best known for his 10 seasons as 'Bobby Dawson' on the hit TV show “CSI” and for his critically lauded performances as 'Roger' in the "BearCity" film franchise (“sexy and assured” NY Times). Gerald's award winning directorial debut feature film, "Daddy", was listed by QUEERTY as one of the top 10 LGBTQ films streaming alongside "Milk" and "Dallas Buyers Club".
The 10th Annual Immigration Film Festival is hosted by KAMA DC, and volunteer-run non-profit that provides a platform for immigrants and refugees living in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to share their stories and teach classes.
