Trembling Before G-d (DVD)
Sandi Simcha Dubowski's illuminating documentary examines two things that do not go well together: homosexuality and the Jewish religion. The filmmakers traveled to New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Jerusalem to interview men and women who have been rejected by their families because they are gay, and they have been rejected by their religion as well. Many of the gays and lesbians in the film still hide their homosexuality because they fear what might happen if their families and temples find out the truth about their lifestyles; thus, the film includes blurred-out faces, silhouettes, and people photographed at angles that do not reveal their identities. The subjects interviewed include the first openly gay Orthodox rabbi, a married woman with children who fears losing her family if it gets out that she is a lesbian; a man who returns to Jerusalem to face the first rabbi he came out to and to place a prayer in the Wailing Wall; and a Brooklyn man who is desperate to see his elderly father for the first time in twenty years.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.
