I am (formerly out & about)

What do parents do when they find out that their child is gay? Having lost the opportunity to tell her
mother that she is a lesbian, a young Indian filmmaker in search of answers, travels across India to meet
with parents of other gay and lesbian South Asians. I Am is a personal and revealing feature film that
journeys to a landscape where being gay is a criminal and punishable offence. Can this documentary conversation
offer any resolution for either the filmmaker or the parents she meets? With courage, determination, and humor,
families share untold stories that have thus far remained in the realm of secrecy and silence.
