Straightlaced
This is a film by an Academy Award winner with candid interviews of more than 50
teens from diverse backgrounds. Their stories reflect a diversity of
experiences, demonstrating how gender role expectations and homophobia are
interwoven, and illustrating the different ways that these expectations
connect with culture, race and class. Straightlaced unearths how popular
pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens.
