This is the first-ever documentary about gay men and lesbians on the job. Narrated by Retired colonel Grethe Cammermeyer. In 40 states it is legal to fire an employee for being homosexual. More than three decades after the Civil Rights Movement, gay and lesbian workers are still fighting for their rights - and their lives - in the workplace. Produced, directed and written by award-winning independent filmmakers Tami Gold and Kelly Anderson and is narrated by retired Army colonel Grethe Cammermeyer. At age 23, Ms. Cammermeyer headed an intensive care unit at an evacuation hospital in vietnam, where she helped save the lives of hundreds of American soldiers. After a long and distinguished career, Ms. Cammermeyer was discharged from the service in 1992 for telling the truth about her sexual orientation during a routine security check.
