EDIT again, sorry not all the info is coming through. It is called "No Place Like Home lessons in activism from LGBT Kansas" by C.J. Janovy A few of the featured activists will be there, I am not sure they will be around for talks or not. It was quite a deal getting this all together but they did it.
ABOUT THE FILM
Directed by Oscar winner Kevin Willmott, this feature length documentary takes audiences on a tour of a deep red state, to meet people who have found themselves in a battle for LGBTQ rights in the most unlikely places. In places like rural Trego County, Salina and Topeka, you’ll meet some of the people C.J. Janovy profiles in her book No Place Like Home: Lessons in Activism in LGBT Kansas (University Press of Kansas, January 2018). You’ll also meet emerging activists – ordinary people doing extraordinary things, all because they’re committed to securing justice for everyone in their home state.

ABOUT THE SHORT
Parker
Three generations of a Kansas City family are finally unified when they do something that countless other Black Americans could not — choose their own last name.

**sorry, this did not post like I expected it to. I do not know if Kevin Willmott will be there or not, he has been at some or maybe all. This will be my first viewing, I have and have read the book. It is quite good and so far our organization still stands. I kinda took a break from it after all those crazy years. Come if you can, it is really amazing what it took to lauch this thing but hanging on to it was iffy for a while. Still going.
