For our next Beyond the Pew, we will attend Swimming While Drowning on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2:30 pm at the Latino Cultural Center (2600 Live Oak).
A coming-of-age story about self-acceptance and resilience centered in a homeless LGBTQ shelter. Angelo and Mila are fifteen and homeless. Angelo is chasing dreams while Mila is chasing survival. When they become roommates at a shelter for LGBTQ teens, they build a fragile bond that inspires them to reach for understanding and self-acceptance. Emilio Rodriguez’s poetic coming-of-age story celebrates the healing power of hope and the beautiful mystery of being a teenager.
