Share this message with your networks and on social media. Encourage other buckeyes to stop by our table next week. Send a message via social media using #BuckeyeLove

El Canto del Colibri

In an intimate and deeply personal documentary, immigrant Latino fathers across the U.S. recount the impact of their children’s coming out. Through raw, heartfelt testimonies, these families delve deeply into issues of immigration, prejudice, and isolation, while thoughtfully asking questions of their communities, culture, and even their religious beliefs. The result is a powerful lesson on solidarity and humility in a film that both heals and inspires.

El Canto del Colibri premiered at Frameline39 in June 2015. The documentary played at over 30 international film festivals, including screenings in Ecuador, Mexico, Spain, and throughout the United States. Winner, among others, Best Documentary Audience Choice Award at the CinHomo Muestra de Cine LGBT Valladolid, Spain and Best Documentary by the Jury at l Can [be] Gay: 3º Festival Internacional de Cine LGBTIQ de Canarias, Spain. The film is in Spanish, with English subtitles.
