Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival 2009

It’s STILL Elementary presents a moving story about the power to ignite positive social change through documentary film and grassroots organizing. It examines the incredible impact of the film, It’s Elementary over the last decade, and follows up with teachers and students featured in the first film to see how lessons about LGBT people changed their lives. It’s STILL Elementary also documents the story behind the controversial PBS broadcast of It’s Elementary and the infamous right-wing attacks on the film and its creators. It’s STILL Elementary is a call to action for parents and educators to continue working for safe, inclusive schools. The PRIDE Film Festival Steering Committe and faculty and students in the Indiana University School of Education as well as current teachers will participate in a discussion following the film.
