Coming Out Under Fire
Aroview: As America joined the war effort against Nazism and the persecution of Jews, its own military continued to discriminate against gay and lesbian recruits, as chronicled in this measured documentary.
Lauded documentarian Arthur Dong cuts to the heart of the extreme prejudice, providing historical context for an issue that remains current and unresolved, though never loses sight of the individual victims either, arriving at nine intimate portraits of outed service men and women whose stories recall various degrees of humilation and ill-treatment.
