Gay Gurus on a Multidimensional Crusade to Confront the Catholic Church and Reclaim Their Spiritual Power
As a group, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons have generally been missing from the table when it comes to discussions of spirituality and religion, to say the least. While in recent years a new level of visibility has been achieved in many places, gay people are still excluded from most organized religions, if not outright condemned and even persecuted. The film documentary "Out & About with Brewer & Berg" follows two gay men on an odyssey to confront established religion and reclaim their spiritual identities.
Zurich, Switzerland (PRWEB) October 5, 2005 -- The film documentary Out & About with Brewer & Berg" follows the multidimensional quest of Michael Brewer and Thomas Alan Berg through Switzerland and Italy as they explore and debunk the old myths and paradigms all the way to the gates of Vatican where they discover their own unique spiritual identities as gay men.
With the ongoing global debate on the roles of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in all aspects of society, from marriage, employment rights, education, politics and religion, there is a growing awareness of the unique contribution made by this ubiquitous yet under reported and misrepresented group of people. Gay people everywhere are seeking greater rights, greater recognition and claiming their place in society. The answers they seek are universal in nature.
The catharsis of travel leads to captivating and entertaining dialogue in "Out & About with Brewer & Berg" on subjects ranging from Jungian psychology, archetypes and mythology, through medieval castles and war, past the archetypal sculpture and art of Rome, to epiphanies in the Roman Forum and Coliseum. They discuss art and creativity at Niki de St. Phalle's sculpture garden in Tuscany and hold insightful conversations in Pisa and finally experience a crescendo of breakthrough visions in Florence. The light touch throughout the film, informative graphics and quotes and riveting music track enhances often pointed and thought-provoking commentary.
This joint Swiss/American production shows a side of gay culture rarely seen on film. Deep thinking, challenging, humorous and cultured, Brewer and Berg take their viewers on a multidimensional journey over the rainbow into a new sense of self-worth and potential. It's an uplifting and encouraging view from what may seem appear to be an unexpected source, one that raises questions for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation.
