Southern Baptist Sissies

"Southern Baptist Sissies" is a film of the theatrical experience of writer/director Del Shores' GLAAD Award-winning play about four gay boys growing up in the Southern Baptist church. It exposes the conflict between the abrasive rhetoric of dogmatic religion and the fragile development of adolescent homosexuality while challenging hypocrisy, uncovering damage and giving hope. The intimate experience of theatre on the film screen reveals the complicated emotions from all sides: the confused child, the struggling adolescent and the angry and flawed adult.Blu-ray features surround sound and English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
