I was unaware of this film, but apparently it was co-produced by the United Church of Christ. Wow, I knew the UCC was good on LGBT issues, but I didn't expect that level of support!
The film's Facebook page describes the film thus:
QuoteAs the film begins, so does Malcolm's final year of seminary. It is a time filled with great concern and apprehension. He is, by all accounts, unemployed, uncertain about his future as a minister, unrecognized as "Malcolm" by his parents and without a love in his life.
Before the school term begins, he steps away from his safe environment and sets out on a road trip. He travels across the country visiting with many people along the way, each of whom have a different perspective on the issues of identity, faith, and love.
In a small town outside of Denver, Malcolm reconnects with his past by visiting a former high school teacher whom he has not seen since he transitioned. In Cortez, he meets Pauline Mitchell, whose Nadleeh, or two-spirit, Navajo son was murdered while still in high school. In Los Angeles, Malcolm talks religion with Calpernia Addams, the subject of the Showtime film Soldier's Girl. Malcolm then travels to San Francisco to meet a police sergeant, who gained international attention when he transitioned on the force.
By the time Malcolm arrives in New York, his journey has covered more than just miles. And his future holds more possibilities than he ever could have dreamed.
