Life & Liberty

The LGBTQ community has seen political and social gains in the last few decades, but ALONE IN THE GAME highlights the continuing discrimination, fear, and depression experienced by U.S. LGBTQ professional athletes. The documentary highlights the unique challenges that LGBTQ athletes face from
teammates and the general public in a context where ideals of masculinity and femininity are rigid and heteronormativity reigns supreme. After considering the presented interviews with current and former athletes you won’t experience sports culture the same way again.
