MAMA BEARS
2022 / USA
Run Time: 90 Minutes
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.
