Turning the Page examines the efforts of organizations working outside mainstream film and television to produce and distribute stories that are by, for, and about LGBTQ people. These organizations harness the power of counter-storytelling to transform the media landscape and combat the hegemonic narratives that have oppressed LGBTQ people for generations. Combining close analysis of film and television content with interviews of industry professionals, Turning the Page demonstrates how queer storytelling in visual media has the potential to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and motivate social justice activism.
