They Shine: On Being Gay in Morelos (Se Lucen)
Greg Berger (producer/editor)
Mexico, 2002, 13 minutes

 

To be poor in Mexico is hard. To be poor in a small town in Mexico is harder. If you're a gay man living in those circumstances, things can get downright tricky. This collectively-produced documentary introduces us to four gay men in Mazatepec, Morelos, who recount their life passions and their everyday complaints. They describe their occasional relationships with men in town who consider themselves “straight,” and give free reign to their creative impulses at the town’s yearly festival, the Mojiganga, where sexual identities are publicly, playfully transgressed
