CGiii Comment
"Tragedy brought them together. Love healed them."
Pieces of Us is a documentary feature that focuses on the intimate and personal journeys of LGBTQ+ hate crime survivors, who by choosing to take their recovery public, inspire the survivor in all of us. Our narrative juxtaposes the inspirational stories of recovery each of our participants have created in their lives with the powerful connections their public actions have produced. We follow their very personal journeys from violence to triumph, taking the viewer from the New York area to Denver and India, to examine how speaking your truth can build a support community and even spark global change. LGBTQ+ history is defined by the resistance of unlikely heroes, those who didn't choose to have their rights violated, but chose to stand against hate and give voice to the voiceless. When we speak up, courage is unleashed. Minds are changed, and lives are saved.
