Co-directors Patrick Sammon and Bennett Singer invite you to a special private virtual screening of their film, which has been described as “fascinating” (Hollywood Reporter), “riveting” (The Queer Review), and “astonishingly rich ... one of the best documentaries of this or any year" (British Film Institute). CURED chronicles the battle waged by a small group of activists who declared war against a formidable institution — and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQ equality. CURED was also recently nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy Award.

CURED will be available to stream online from October 10-23.

Making History

Until 1973, the medical establishment classified every gay person — no matter how well-adjusted — as the victim of a disease. As long as lesbians and gay men were “sick,” progress toward equality was impossible. CURED takes viewers inside the David-versus-Goliath battle that led the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses.

Even though this film highlights a story from the past, its lessons are profoundly relevant in today’s ongoing global fight for LGBTQ equality. This film reveals how a handful of determined individuals can create lasting social change.
