Synopsis

Out of Respect follows five LGBT young adults overcoming the repercussions of family neglect and abandonment. The story spans one year, including first-person video diaries and intimate interviews about the day-to-day hustles of survival. The documentary focuses on prevention by highlighting a recent Milwaukee-based, LGBT youth-service initiative. This “outreach in action” has become a model for other cities and at-risk youth organizations.
