Hineini: Coming Out in a Jewish High School
(USA, 2005, 60 min., English)
Directed by Irena Fayngold

This earnest and heartfelt documentary is the timely chronicle of Shulamit Izen's fight to start a gay-straight alliance at Gann Academy - the New Jewish High School of Greater Boston. Beyond the struggle to create a supportive environment for gay and lesbian students and teachers at the school, the film tells the compelling story of a community wrestling with the very definitions of pluralism and diversity in a Jewish context.
