Wonderfully Made @LUC
In partnership with the Institute of Pastoral Studies and the Department of Theology, and with financial support from the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the Graduate School, the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy's Anti-Oppressive Film Series presents Wonderfully Made — LGBTQ+R(eligion) directed by Yuval David and produced by Mark McDermott!
Synopsis: Wonderfully Made — LGBTQ+R(eligion) is a combined fine art project and feature-length documentary that together strike at the root of anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes by exploring the challenges and aspirations of LGBTQ+ Catholics. The message, however, applies to any religious tradition that does not fully embrace our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters.

A note on FCIP’s Anti-Oppressive Film Series
-
This series is an effort to cultivate anti-racist and anti-oppressive thought, action and pedagogy by examining race, structural and systemic racism, structural oppression, belonging, identity, and other themes through the medium of film. The series is designed to give participants different perspectives on issues of the day, as well as educate them on different aspects of anti-oppressive thought. As a non-didactic and group discussion-oriented series, participants are able to learn about salient issues of identity, intersectionality, marginalization, and anti-oppression through the transformative experience of "witness" through the creative medium of film.
