Out in India: A Family's Journey

Documentary chronicling the experiences of a gay couple who put their affluent life in Los Angeles on hold to go to India for nine months. The film’s primary focus is the run up to a conference organised by David Gere who wants to bring together Indian community artists who use their work to educate about Aids and HIV. While Gere visits artists, discusses their work and hosts a successful conference with a little help from his film star brother, his partner Peter Carley is left alone to look after their young children and never really adjusts to life in India. Ultimately this is a moving portrait of a couple who survive under difficult circumstances and still manage to support a cause they both feel strongly about. It is also a rare opportunity to see Indian artists and activists talking about the hugely important work that they do, often under impossible conditions.
