Description

Michelle Miller is one of many inspiring subjects who bravely shared their story in Sandi Dubowski’s Trembling Before G-D, a groundbreaking documentary that shattered assumptions about faith and sexuality. Michelle helped lift the veil on what it’s like to be a gay Orthodox Jew, and inspired a generation of young people to embrace their truths. Since its 2002 premiere, the film has been seen by over nine million people, creating community and solidarity around the world.

Subject Michelle Miller and filmmaker Sandi Simcha Dubowski will join us for a post-screening Skype Q&A
