The Patterson Library
Westfield, NY - February 19, 2010
7:00 PM—Community screening and dialogue—40 South Portage Street, Westfield, NY 14787—Contact: Nancy Nixon, 716-326-2154
Out in the Silence captures the remarkable chain of events that unfold when the announcement of filmmaker Joe Wilson’s wedding to another man ignites a firestorm of controversy in his small Pennsylvania hometown of Oil City.
Drawn back by a plea for help from the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson’s journey dramatically illustrates the universal challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the transformation that is possible when those who have long been constrained by a traditional code of silence summon the courage to break it.
