Don’t miss this chance to watch Coming to You (2021, trailer) on their tour of Southern California! The film is a powerful, groundbreaking documentary about two women confronting bigotry and redefining their relationship with their gay and transgender (adult) children, made by a filmmaker working with the acclaimed queer feminist film collective, PINKS (연분홍치마). The film thoughtfully presents the work of PFLAG Korea (Parents and Families of LGBTAIQ People in Korea), an important chapter in LGBTQ activism in South Korea and beyond. It won the Best Documentary Film prize at the Jeonju International Film Festival and the Brave New Docs Award at the DMZ International Documentary Film Festival, both in 2021.
Coming to You has already fostered critical conversations through international film festivals and over a hundred community screenings in South Korea, though it has not yet been widely screened in the U.S. The film will resonate with queer and trans youth, families and allies, students, activists, and community builders and advocates committed to social justice whether in public policy, in political discourse, and in the intimate spaces of their personal lives.
