PFLAG Salem will celebrate the Transgender Day of Visibility with a special screening of a movie only available on the festival circuit.
PFLAG Salem, in collaboration with Willamette University’s Gender Resource and Advocacy Center, will screen The Most Dangerous Year at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 31 in Ford Hall, Room 122, on the willamette University campus.
The 2018 documentary highlights the fight families endured for transgender civil rights in Washington State. In 2016, a group of Washington State families with transgender kids joined the fight against the wave of discriminatory anti-transgender legislation sweeping through the nation and into their home state. With the help of a coalition of state lawmakers and civil rights activists, these families embarked on an uncharted journey of fighting to protect and preserve their children’s human rights and freedoms in a present-day civil rights movement.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session.
PFLAG Salem is the local chapter of the national organization dedicated to supporting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Find out when and where upcoming PFLAG meetings are being held at gaysalem.org.
