Tonight at the Grange - Best of the Fest, The Most Dangerous Year
FHFF The Most Dangerous Year
Director: Vlada Knowlton
What happens when a community stands up for its civil rights? The Most Dangerous Year tells the story of a small group of Washington State families caught in the middle of the nation’s “bathroom wars.”
Director Vlada Knowlton, a Seattle area filmmaker and parent of a transgender child, takes us to the front lines of this heart-wrenching political battle. Her film details how she and her family worked to combat a Washington state bill intended to force all people to use the public restroom that coincides with their birth sex. Then, joining other families of transgender children and a coalition of state lawmakers and civil rights activists, they fought numerous other discriminatory initiatives. Instead of shaming those who question transgender rights, this film invites a conversation.
As Washington state senator Joe Fain points out, we lose the battle for understanding when we stop speaking with one another.
