GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH

In response to a wave of discriminatory anti-LGBTQ laws across the country, not to mention the divisive 2016 election, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus embarks on a tour of the American south. Conductor Tim Seelig leads 300 singers through five states and 25 performances; bringing messages of love and friendship, the choir finds acceptance and support on the road, prompting surprising reconciliations and timely reflections. In an age when the country feels fractured and explosive, the film is a timely reminder that — as President Kennedy once said — “what unites us is far greater than what divides us.”
