Committed

A short film that revisits the Lavender Scare, when the U.S. government tracked those labeled as having “weak morals”—including suspected gays, Black and Native Americans, intellectuals, and feminists. When a family’s matriarch is targeted by a secret unit on her son’s birthday, her loved ones are thrust into danger, revealing unexpected strength. A chilling tale of survival, it reflects a past America that feels disturbingly close to today.
