In a fading industrial town in the heart of the American rust-belt, Joe Wilson realizes that while maverick acts such as the publication of his wedding announcement can create a splash, creating lasting change in small towns takes the courage and ongoing commitment of local folks to speak out and live openly. Also showing, Voices of Witness Africa. Admission: $10.00 ($8.00 members), tickets available online: http://reelingfilmfestival.tix.com About Reeling: Reeling 2009, the second-oldest LGBT film festival in the world, will run November 5th through the 15th, showcasing innovative gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender films from around the globe.
