Out exclusively premiered online today GLAAD Presents: State of Change – Georgia, a short documentary profiling the experiences of LGBT advocates and their allies in the Peach State.
This documentary is the second in a series of six films that will share the experiences of, and accelerate acceptance for, LGBT people and communities across the U.S. South. The first, GLAAD Presents: State of Change – South Carolina, was released by the Huffington Post last week.
The short films were produced and directed by Claire Pires as part of GLAAD's Southern Stories program, which is dedicated to accelerating acceptance in America's southern states. The Georgia-based film was screened and followed by a panel on Wednesday at Atlanta's Turner Broadcasting, during GLAAD's Southern Stories Summer Tour. As part of the Summer Tour, GLAAD met with local LGBT advocates in six Southern states and bringing attention to their stories.
