Shorts Program: Love That Dares Not

Post-screening discussion with filmmakers, moderated by Narges Bajoghli, Assistant Professor at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University.

These films share the stories of individuals who courageously express their love despite the profound risks involved, from the founder of The Trevor Project – the largest suicide prevention lifeline for LGBTQIA+ youth – to the shelter in Mexico providing refuge for LGBTQ individuals fleeing persecution at home and seeking to cross into the United States, to the tumultuous journey of gender reassignment. This is the love that dares to speak its name.
