PUZZLES: When Hate Came to Town 

In  PUZZLES, a film by Tami Gold & David Pavlosky, a brutal attack in a gay and lesbian bar provides a window into two very different worlds that suddenly collide: the loose circle of disaffected white youth - followers of the white-rap band Insane Clown Posse and the vibrant but fragile oasis for drag performers and working class gay men and lesbians. Most striking in both communities is the palpable need for belonging. PUZZLES charts these groups' divergent journeys as they respond to the attack, and along the way explores hate, the deep alienation felt by many American youth, and an underlying quality that both worlds share: the abiding need for family.
 
Following the screening the filmmakers will be present for a discussion.
