With bad weather on the way here on the east coast, and many people in the "education industry" possibly staying home today, try to catch this very interesting documentary at 10AM EST (consult http://www.sundancechannel.com for other times).

Appeared at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Devout Orthodox and Hasidic Jews who also happen to be gay are often torn by conflict. Passages in the Torah and 16th-century Jewish law cause many rabbis and families to reject the Orthodox gay men and lesbians in their midst. The choices are abstinence, counseling, adopting a heterosexual lifestyle - or abandoning one's religion. In his award-winning documentary, Sandi Simcha DuBowski profiles a group of contemporary Orthodox Jews who are striving to maintain their faith while also living honestly with their sexuality.
