The final film for the semester in Kutztown's Pride Against
Prejudice Film Series is Shelter on Wed. Nov. 16, at 6 p.m.,
Boehm 145. A dynamic Q & A will follow. Shelter was a hit in the
independent film circuit and explores issues of familial obligations and demands
vs. wrestling with the closet and personal aspirations. Shelter has
been praised for its ability to explore complex issues without every sounding
preachy or forced. Indeed, it is a wonderfully naturalistic coming of age story
in a world of complex demands.
