Essential and riveting - the matter-of-factness of [Dong's] presentation only increases [its] knockout power." - Time Out New York
With over 100 international film excellence awards to his name, the full scope of Arthur Dong’s talent and integrity is brought to light in this exceptional 3-DVD Box Set. Famous for his intensely compassionate and wonderfully crafted stories, this collection of critically acclaimed and award-winning films powerfully illustrates the many sides and faces of the gay rights struggle in America, and dramatically reveals the social consequences of individual actions in America’s 20th century Culture War over gay and lesbian issues.
The Arthur Dong Collection Includes:
COMING OUT UNDER FIRE
Based on Allan Béribé’s award-winning book, this internationally acclaimed film shoots to the heart of today’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” controversy to uncover the hidden truths of the American military’s persecution of gay and lesbian service members during World War II.
FAMILY FUNDAMENTALS
With a rare gift for unflinching impartiality, Dong delves into the lives and attitudes of fundamentalist families who are actively opposed to homosexuality, despite having gay offspring themselves.
LICENSED TO KILL
The first film to explore anti-gay violence through the eyes of the perpetrators themselves, Dong takes us on a frightening journey into the minds of seven young men whose contempt for homosexuality led them to murder.
