MSNBC Films Presents: “It's Okay” Screening with Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Thursday September 5, 2024 6:15pm - 6:45pm PDT
Hollywood Studios AB
A quiet take on a very noisy subject—the rise of hate and intolerance against the LGBTQIA+ community—as two young brothers observe and absorb their first Drag Story Hour. A refrain of “It’s okay” underscores their experience, and this simple utterance takes on a multitude of meanings in its repetition, from assurance to question, hope to fear.  Join us for a screening and a conversation with producer Jesse Tyler Ferguson, immediately following the film.
