Academy Award-winner Daniel Junge
Academy Award-winner Daniel Junge in person for Q&A following the film. About the film: A pioneering disco artist’s 1977 anthem becomes a cultural milestone for LGBTQ+ music. Through interviews with music legends, the story unfolds of Archbishop Carl Bean’s groundbreaking impact on queer representation in mainstream culture.
