Docs In Progress returns to Washington DC with a screening of two
documentary works in progress. This screening provides an opportunity
for local and visiting documentary filmmakers to screen their
unfinished films to an audience and get valuable feedback. This time,
we’ll be screening:
OUT IN THE SILENCE by Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer

56 minute rough cut

When Joe Wilson announced his wedding to another man in a local
newspaper, he ignited a firestorm of controversy in his small
Pennsylvania hometown. Drawn back home by a plea for help from the
mother of a gay teen being tormented at school, Wilson’s journey takes
him into the heart of smalltown America and the struggles faced by
those who have been constrained by a traditional code of silence. Click here to watch a trailer of  OUT IN THE SILENCE


LAND OF DILEMMAS by Olha Onyshko and Sarah Farhat

15 minute excerpt

Sixty years after World War II devastated Galicia, we travel to what is
now Western Ukraine to meet Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews who risked
everything to save the lives of people they previously perceived to be
their enemies.  Click here to watch a trailer of LAND OF DILEMMAS.
