Jim in Bold is a documentary film presenting the many complicated issues facing gay and lesbian teens. Titled after a poem of the same name by Jim Wheeler, the young man whose life and tragic death the film honors. Jim in Bold explores the profound impact of nationally tolerated homophobia in our culture and public schools on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Youth. The film simultaneously reveals a hopeful aspect of being young and gay in America, by featuring many gay teens that are creating and promoting a positive self-image.
