SPECIAL GUESTS:
JOE WILSON Director of Out in the Silence
ABOUT THE FILM: Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilsons wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown. Wilsons journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.
