In Other Words (Video)
National Film Board of Canada
Jul 01, 2001
Young people may not know what the words “fag,” “queer” and “gay” mean, but they do understand that these words carry great negative social value. In Other Words explores the impact of homophobia on a group of young people who speak courageously about their fears, concerns, anger and pain. Using slang, music media images and dictionary definitions, it examines how language determines our attitudes towards others. It also encourages changes in attitude to ensure that schools are safe places where children can learn in a climate of respect. Running time: 25 minutes.
