Reeling: Just As We Are
This Chicago-made documentary candidly examines the lives of six Latino men and one transgender woman, and the ties that bind them: their families and friends, religion, and the cultural experiences that shape them. In a culture celebrated for its rich traditions, close-knit families, and strong faith, being Latino and gay, bisexual, or transgender, is often unmentionable. This bilingual film showcases individuals from around the country who dare to risk it all to live and be loved for their truth.

Reeling: Reel Life Shorts
There is a reason people say that reality can be stranger than fiction and it can be more engaging, too.

Get Happy (Mark Payne, USA), Dorian: A Picture (Joe E. Jeffreys, USA), The Pull (Andrew Blubaugh, USA), True Colors (Kenneth Yanga, USA), A Special Outing (Tim Dagradi, USA), Tibira Gay (Emilio Gallo, Brazil), The Constant Process (Douglas Hunter, USA).
