Held Together
Director:
Alvin Agarrat
"Held Together," Craig Washington's essay about "femphobia,” is now a choral work as conceived by director Alvin Agarrat. Agarrat filmed nine Black gay men lending their collective voice to this message. Femphobia actually stems from fear-based and hateful attitudes toward women and girls. Gay men are shamed into hating their own fem side. This is how they become femphobic against each other, even though they are gay. “Held Together” explores the effects of stigma, and the value of self-acceptance.
My Abortion Saved My Life
Director:
Ruby Fludzinski, Tiler Wilson
Cazembe Murphy Jackson (he/him), a Black trans activist living in Atlanta, Georgia, shares why his access to abortion was vital to his life.
