Local PFLAG Presents Film Presentation
Directed by veteran filmmaker Vivien Kleiman, focuses on a Mexican-American family, the other six films planned for the series will chronicle the journeys of families with LGBT and gender variant
children from other diverse backgrounds. “Using my skills as a documentary filmmaker to tell these stories of love and personal transformation has been profoundly moving and inspirational,” said Kleiman, a Peabody-Award winning filmmaker whose work is noted for its cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity.
This free program is designed to help parents, educators, clinicians, clergy and others who interact with young people understand the critical role that families play in reducing suicide risk for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. To register contact Shelby Rowe at srowe2@uams.edu or call 501.364-3436.
