More of a Man
“What happens when everything you've been taught all of your life doesn't make sense anymore?”
Synopsis
A guilt-ridden young Catholic man (Joey Stefano) begins a journey of sexual and emotional awakening after encountering the bold, political, and unapologetically queer world outside his sheltered upbringing. With the help of an ACT UP activist (Mike Henson) and a charismatic drag queen (Chi Chi LaRue), he learns to confront shame, embrace desire, and redefine what it means to be “more of a man.
