Straight Acting

Directed by Spencer Windes

Gay men find acceptance and camaraderie through sports, from ice hockey to rugby and rodeo.
Straight Acting is an engaging documentary about gay men, masculinity and the pressure to fit narrow ideas of how a man should behave. Spencer Windes keeps the film personal and accessible, using sports and social groups to explore an issue that remains relevant well beyond the period in which it was made.
