ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
Two boys ushering at their Baptist Church are faced with confronting their faith, love and morality.

SYNOPSIS
THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US is a story about the intersection of faith and queer love as we follow two young Black men who volunteer as ushers for their Baptist church and their journey towards love, connection and spirituality. This imaginative film proposes an alternative opportunity for Black queer individuals to exist authentically in spaces that have so often limited them.
