- Summary:
- Inspired by the book of the same name by Robert Trachtenburg, more than 150 people in five cities were surveyed about the experience of realizing they were gay. In the resulting film, 16 interviewees--of different ages, sexes, and lifestyles--share their stories describing their own "when I knew" moment. Some experienced confusion and fear, but all have embraced their sexual orientation as essential to their personhood. In a therapeutic and often liberating fashion, the interviewees share their remembrances of recognition, acceptance, resolve, and self-awareness.
