Farming isn’t the sort of career that you normally associate with queer people – although coming from a farming family myself and knowing a few gay farmers, I can personally attest that there are more of them around than you probably thought.
Out There takes a look at queer farmers across the US, with the documentary examining their lives and work. As Towleroad points out the film is touring the Mid-West and West Coast, from Milwaukee to Seattle, during February and March 2015.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Out Here is a full-length documentary film created by the Queer Farmer Film Project. Completed after 4 years in production, it looks at the experiences of queer farmers across the country and asks – what does it mean to be a queer farmer, is agriculture a safe space for queer people, and what are the relationships between food production and queerness? It is the filmmaker’s dream that this project will give voice and visibility to queer people in agriculture and inspire a flagrant national discussion about gender and sexuality as they are related to our food system.’
