Special World AIDS Day Screening: I Was Born This Way by Sam Pollard and Daniel Junge
I Was Born this Way by Sam Pollard and Daniel Junge
(USA, 2025, 100 min)
When Archbishop Carl Bean sang the 1977 disco hit and gay anthem “I Was Born This Way,” it was just the start of his mission to create positive change in the world. He went on to found the Minority AIDS Project and the world’s first LGBTQ+ church for people of color.
This screening is programmed in recognition of World AIDS Day. We invite you to join us in community to honor this day and those you know who have been impacted by HIV/AIDS.
