I Am

(Sonali Gulati, 2011)
UA Gallagher Theater / FREE
Still from I Am

Sonali Gulati’s lyrical and intensely personal documentary chronicles her journey as an Indian lesbian filmmaker who returns to Delhi after an eleven year absence, to re-open what was once her family home. There, she finally confronts the loss of her mother, to whom she never came out. As she meets and speaks to parents of other LGBT Indians, she pieces together the fabric of the true meaning of family, in a landscape where, until recently, her very identity was a criminal offense.

The film has been screened at dozens of festivals throughout the world, and won twelve awards for Best Documentary.
