* Q & A with Director Malcolm Ingram, moderated by Executive Producer Kevin Smith, to follow screening
The fight for equal rights is far from over, and nowhere is this more evident than in small towns in the Deep South. Homosexuals in these communities lack the social outlets of their cosmopolitan brethren. Focusing primarily on two bars in Mississippi, Rumors and Crossroads, the film introduces us to their proprietors as they struggle to stand their ground in hostile terrain. Director Malcolm Ingram deftly balances the joy and pain of this world and crafts a film that will connect with anyone who has ever felt oppressed and found strength with a little help from their friends.
“Inherently moving and excruciatingly truthful, Malcolm Ingram’s SMALL TOWN GAY BAR is the story of real people in a real place, documenting their fight to create a family of love and acceptance in a world that has offered them none.†– Film Threat
Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival 2006
