FILM. VOICES IN EXILE: STORIES OF LESBIAN MORMONS

The 49-minute documentary, Voices in Exile, introduces viewers to eight lesbian Mormons as they tell about their experiences in the faith. These women know the LDS culture and have lived the life, they can sing the songs from Primary, they served missions, they held Church callings, they married in the temple, and they raised children. And, all too often, they have felt the need to reject their rich pasts. The interviews broach issues of pain, guilt, depression, suicide, acceptance, and hope, providing a fascinating look into a segment of the faith forced into exile. Filmed entirely in Idaho over several years, the film was funded by Boise State University.
