Ratings and reviews

This film is the beautiful story of a couple who travel around the world interviewing LGBT leaders. Needless to say, many of the stories are sad, as they are stories of discrimination and persecution. However, the film focuses on advances in human rights for LGBT people, and overall is a message of hope and optimism. It goes back and forth between Lisa and Jenni's journey/interviews and their personal stories. Both are engaging and inspiring. I cried numerous times watching it. If you want to learn about LGBT issues globally, and/or want to be moved and inspired, I would highly recommend this film.
