"Let's have an adventure." In Out and Around, Jennifer Chang and Lisa Dazols invite viewers to join them on a journey through Australia, Asia, Africa and South America. Their year-long travels documented the state of LGBTQ+ rights around the world (though readers should note the film was released in 2015 and thus some of the specific laws referenced may have changed since). The documentary combines storytelling, social justice, human rights, and the great outdoors to tell both "an entertaining adventure story," and "an empowering account of LGBTQ+ resilience in an often complicated world." In addition to viewing the 80-minute documentary, readers can submit basic info (name and email) to gain access to the Educator Guide, a useful resource with 10 discussion prompts and 3 research project ideas focused on global LGBTQ+ rights. The guide is available in English, Chinese, Portugese, and Spanish. Readers will also find a few Bonus Material highlighted at the bottom of the page. The guide and documentary are available to a broad audience thanks to a partnership with the It Gets Better Project.
