From Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick comes Outrage, a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians with appalling gay rights voting records who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. Boldly revealing the hidden lives of some of the United States' most powerful policymakers, Outrage takes a comprehensive look at the harm they've inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media's complicity in keeping their secrets. The film won the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. |
