The Complete 2003 Festival Schedule

JIM IN BOLD
Cinerama Theatre
Sunday, October 19
12:00pm

A tribute to bright and talented youth Jim Wheeler, JIM IN BOLD deftly weaves the reflections of family and friends with the self portraits Jim left behind, to honor this young man who left the world too soon. Saddened by his suicide but inspired by Jim’s poems and art, the three creators of the Young Gay America website drive cross-country and interview queer youth in various towns across the nation, including one young woman who organized a Pride parade in her small town, and another teen who set up a straight-gay alliance in his school. Driven to action to prevent similar tragedies in the future, Jim’s mother has even taken the film to Senator Rick Santorum’s office in an effort to change his views on homosexuality. Throughout the film, Jim’s poetry is read by youth from across the nation, offering empowerment and hope.
