Join us for our monthly LGBTQ+ Movie Nights, where we'll screen films that reflect the rich diversity of the LGBTQ+ community. On November 4th we will be showing Being Thunder (NR).
From heartwarming love stories to powerful documentaries, our carefully curated selection highlights the experiences, cultures, and histories that shape the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether you're looking to discover new perspectives or revisit classic films, this monthly program provides a safe and welcoming space for all to come together, watch, reflect, and discuss.
On November 4th we will be showing Being Thunder (NR) - Sherente, a two spirit-genderqueer teenager from Rhode Island's Narragansett tribe performs traditional dance in competitions at annual regional pow wows of New England tribes. There is no written rule which prohibits two spirit-genderqueer people to compete in dances different from their birth gender. Wearing traditional female dress, Sherente performs with joy and beauty. However, behind the scenes, tribal leaders manipulate scores or disqualify him outright because they believe in traditional (White) gender roles.
