A Long Way From Heaven outlines the history of queer treatment at Brigham Young University – the good where it exists, the bad, and the very, very ugly. The story focuses mainly on the group of students who lit the school’s iconic “Y Mountain” in rainbow colors in a show of solidarity with the school’s queer population, as well as the events leading to, and fallout from, that night.
Presented by the Artist Foundry‘s Utah Filmmaker Showcase program.
Featuring a post-film Q&A moderated by Artist Foundry Manager, Amanda Madden, with the film’s director, David Sant, and producer, Tayler Pace and local historian and genealogist, Connell O’Donovan.
