We are very excited that we will be hosting a free screening of the MAMA BEARS documentary, as part of our You've Gotta Have Friends (YGHF) program on Friday, June 20th. It will take place at our YGHF gathering space at 20566 56th Avenue in Langley. 

About the Movie
Spread across the country but connected through private Facebook groups, over 30,000 mothers in America—many from conservative, Christian backgrounds—fully accept their LGBTQ+ children. And they call themselves "mama bears" because, while their love is warm and fuzzy, they fight ferociously to make the world kinder and safer for all LGBTQ+ people. MAMA BEARS explores the journeys of two mama bears and a young lesbian whose struggle for self-acceptance exemplifies why the Mama Bears movement is vitally important.

The film was directed by Daresha Kyi and released in 2022.
