Out
of Annapolis gives the LGBT alumni of the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, the
chance to tell their stories after serving their country in silence as Navy and
Marine Corps officers.
These
brave citizens speak candidly about difficult circumstances that some service
people have found more stressful than battle.
As
DADT lumbers slowly towards repeal, you might think this film will be just
another bit of history — documenting the past. However, what makes this film a
moving portrait of LGBT Americans is how it captures the strong bond they feel
towards the Naval Academy. And how it shows the many positive ways the Naval
Academy shaped their character.
Out
of Annapolis will be showing at NewFest on Saturday, June 12th at

It
will be shown with Silent Partners, documenting how DADT affects the lives of
