Maya Newell’s portrait of LGBT families debuted at Hot Docs last year. The film went on to screen at DOC NYC, London, Melbourne, Sydney, Documentary Edge, Warsaw, and DOK Leipzig, among other fests.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Gus is obsessed with wrestling, perhaps disturbingly so. Ebony is nervous about nailing her audition to a performing arts school. Matt, raised with religion, is flirting with atheism. Graham has to contend with his difficulties reading and a family move to Fiji. They’re all very different preteens, but they have one thing in common – they have same-sex parents. Maya Newell’s beautifully composed film reveals both the challenges of same-sex parenting and the refreshing commonalities shared by every family.
