Gays and Lesbians of Middle Eastern descent living in the U.S. frequently combat the negative stereotypes regarding their sexuality and their race. As Muslims, Christians and Jews, from Armenia, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Leganon and Sudan, they have all struggled to accept themselves and their sexuality despite the treat of disapproval of family and friends. This award-winning film features interviews with a variety of young men, women and their families who share the experiences, joys and sorrows of this diverse community. Timely and groundbreaking, I Exist gives voice to a group that has long remained silent out of shame and fear.
