'Out in the Silence' Titusville screening
Tuesday October 6, 2009 at 7:00pm
Sponsors are the Northwest PA American Civil Liberties Union and the Young Democrats of UPT. Admission is free.
Out In The Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfolds when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson's wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in Oil City, the western Pennsylvania hometown he left long ago. Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson's journey 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.
The film will be followed by a dynamic panel discussion with filmmakers, characters from the film, and local and state activists and leaders.
Directions: UPT is on the east end of Titusville; the street for Henne Auditorium is Petroleum St. which runs north and south off Main St. Henne Auditorium is easy to find; its front facing windows are 2 stories high. Parking is on-street or in the parking lot that faces the front doors of the auditorium. Email: caton+@pitt.edu. Browse to http://wpsu.org/outinthesilence.
