Summaries

An up close look at social change in one of the nation's most conservative states.

Since 2006 the LGBT community and human rights supporters have asked Idaho lawmakers to add the words sexual orientation and gender identity to the Idaho Human Rights Act. It is still lawful in this state to fire someone or refuse services or housing because of how they identify. For 8 years they were told, "we can't this year because of the political climate. Be patient, and we will get to it next year." However, the time for patience has now ended! With their left hands covering their mouths to symbolize how the Idaho legislators have worked to silence them. They have begun an effective civil disobedience campaign. This documentary is their story.—Anonymous
