JIM IN BOLD

Dir: Glen Holsten, USA, 2003, Beta SP, 78 mins

Jim In BoldThere was little place for a sensitive kid like Jim Wheeler in the small town of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. At 19 he committed suicide, leaving behind pages of tormented poetry. Five years later three young filmmakers from an online magazine travel the US interviewing LGBT youth. They discover a thriving, happy young gay life in America. Jim Wheeler would have been amazed. Framed by Jim’s poetry, youth from Washington DC to the rural heart of Texas tell their stories. What could have been another sad tale of isolated small-town queer teens becomes a revelation and an inspiration for gay youth everywhere.
