06/21/2010 This another step in the right direction for the abject law of DON'T ASK DON'T TELL to be repealed. The documentary is very well made focusing on the voice of the voiceless which is that of the gay community in different scenarios these being as serving soldiers, discharged, veterans, protesting and the recruiting offices around the biggest cities in the U.S. It's a good quick source of information on this topic of Elephant in the Room proportions for the American Congress. A must see. See more Read all reviews
