The next Adult RE discussion is Feb. 12. Rev. Linda Hansen will facilitate a discussion about Free Speech.

Boys Don't Cry
1999 - R - 118 minutes
Based on actual events, director Kimberly Peirce's powerful, often harrowing drama stars Hilary Swank (in an Oscar-winning performance) as Brandon Teena, a transgender young man searching for love and acceptance in a small Midwestern town. But even as he forges a deep connection with local beauty Lana (Chloe Sevigny), the prejudices of the community threaten to doom the fledgling romance.

American Experience: Stonewall Uprising
2010 - NR - 90 minutes
Through eyewitness interviews and archival footage, documentary filmmakers Kate Davis and David Heilbroner recapture a pivotal moment in time that mobilized a generation of gay activists and marked the dawn of the modern Gay Rights Movement. Much like Rosa Parks's symbolic refusal to move to the back of the bus, gay bar patrons' refusal to comply with a police raid at Greenwich Village's Stonewall Inn in 1969 would change the course of history.
