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.

Drama biográfico sobre a vida pública e privada de J. Edgar Hoover, o controverso diretor e principal nome à frente da mais famosa agência de inteligência do mundo, o FBI, que foi oficialmente fundada em 1935, tornando-se uma eficiente ferramenta de combate ao crime. J. Edgar Hoover ocupou o cargo durante a gestão de oito presidentes americanos e foi o diretor da agência até sua morte, em 1972, aos 77 anos de idade. Hoover foi ao mesmo tempo temido e admirado, odiado e reverenciado; ficou conhecido por causa de seus critérios sempre discutíveis para perseguir ativistas políticos, congressistas e líderes do movimento negro, e ainda impôs seus métodos ilegais para criar arquivos secretos de líderes adversários. Consta na biografia de Hoover, também, sua suposta homossexualidade.

Take six young gay guys, one bus, seven days, and ten video cameras. Add a trip to Burning Man - a festival of radical self-expression in the desert - and you get this self-aware documentary. What begins as the pilot of a reality-based internet program evolves into a longer project delving beyond the apparent stereotypes of its cast: young porn star, Jason; sexy actor-slash-waiter, Charles; brash Swedish Olympic diver, JMY; witty music composer, Damon; plus the project's permissive producer, Billy, and its at times frustrated young director, Lance. As addictive as your favorite reality TV show, but addressing much deeper questions, this is a trip you won't want to miss
