Jim In Bold

Equality Forum recently produced the documentary film “JIM IN BOLD” about the impact of homophobia on gay youth. The film centers on James Wheeler, a 19-year-old talented youth who committed suicide after being bullied.  Jim had been surrounded in his high school’s locker room and urinated on. There was no disciplinary action.

The award-winning film has been screened at over 50 film festivals and at the annual meetings of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Psychiatric Association.
