Self
An intimate portrait of recently retired Congressman Barney Frank, one of our most well-known and least understood political figures, this documentary alternates between deeply personal moments and the inner workings of our political process. Rare archival material and interviews reveal the emotional pain and harmful effects of a closeted life, the relief of coming out and the triumph of love through the Congressman's historic same-sex marriage. Frank's journey is our country's journey, a classic American story about a dedicated public servant who never loses hope.

Self (as Congressman Barney Frank)
Outrage é um documentário de 2009 dirigido por Kirby Dick sobre políticos gays norte-americanos no armário e que patrocinam legislação antigay. Esses políticos incluem o governador da Flórida, Charlie Crist, o congressista pela Califórnia David Dreier, o ex-prefeito de Nova Iorque, Ed Koch, e o ex-congressista pela Louisiana, Jim McCrery. O filme também apresenta entrevistas com os políticos abertamente gays Barney Frank, Jim McGreevey, e Tammy Baldwin. Quando perguntado sobre a ética em revelar a orientação sexual de políticos que optaram em preservar suas vidas particulares, Dick respondeu dizendo "nosso filme toma a posição de não visar os políticos que estão no armário mas não votam contra os gays". O filme foi produzido por Chain Camera Pictures, a produtora co-fundada por Kirby Dick. O Sundance Institute deu fundos para a produção do filme.
