Out in the Silence (2010)  

Out in the Silence, available on Netflix, tells the story of a handful of rural residents struggling for inclusion amidst vehement anti-gay sentiment.  The story unfolds when a filmmaker is drawn back to a small town by the mother of a gay teen being tormented at school.  The filmmakers’ journey illustrates the challenges of being an outsider in a conservative environment and the potential for building bridges across differences in religion, faith, and values when people approach each other with openness and respect.
