Forbidden: Undocumented & Queer in Rural America

press release: On Friday, October 13, 2017, the documentary, Forbidden: Undocumented & Queer in Rural America, will be screened at Edgewood College. Following the film, Moises Serrano, who is featured in the documentary, will be in attendance to lead discussion.  

Forbidden will be screened at 7 pm in the Anderson Auditorium (located in Predolin Hall) and is free and open to the public.

From filmmaker Tiffany Reynard, this documentary gives a voice to some of the most marginalized and vulnerable people in America, undocumented immigrants in the LGBT community. As a baby, Moises’ parents risked everything to make the perilous journey across the desert in search of the American dream. After 23 years growing up in repressive, rural North Carolina, Moises decides to become an activist and fight for justice on the intersection of his sexual identity and his immigration experiences. This documentary chronicles his journey across his home state of North Carolina as a voice for his community, while simultaneously forging his own future. 

Moises Serrano-Cruz, the subject of the documentary, will attend and participate in a talk back after the screening.
