Prepare for an insightful journey into the heart of the award-winning 2016 film 'Moonlight.' We've been eagerly waiting to share this with you, and it's finally here! Joined by our remarkable guest, Jor-El, we embark on a deep dive into the complex layers of masculinity, race, and queerness intricately woven throughout this cinematic masterpiece. Throughout our discussion, we navigate the profound theme of healing from trauma, recognizing the pivotal role parents play in shaping our lives. We'll also shine a spotlight on the power of vulnerability and the weight of shame, particularly among men. One pivotal moment in the film sees Chiron connecting with his mother, offering a beautiful example of healing through acceptance and unconditional love. As we unravel the movie's closing scene, we'll explore the significance of embracing one's authentic self, especially when it defies societal norms. 'Moonlight' invites us to confront the challenges faced by marginalized communities and the incredible strength required to rise above them. Join us in this enlightening exploration as we celebrate resilience and the journey toward self-discovery.
