It's Elementary--Talking About Gay Issues in School takes cameras into classrooms across the U.S. to look at one of today's most controversial issues--whether and how gay issues should be discussed in schools. Hailed as 'a model of intelligent directing' by International Documentary, the film makes the case that all children are affected by anti-gay prejudice and that adults have a responsibility to address it. Showcasing teachers leading non-judgmental discussions with students about gay and lesbian people, the film demonstrates that students are eager to have honest conversations and learn about differences and respect. Also included is the retrospective documentary, It's Still Elementary, which follows-up with some of the students and teachers from It's Elementary. It tells the fascinating history of why the film was made, the response it provoked from the conservative right, and the questions it raises about the national safe schools movement today." -- Case.
