A Screening and Discussion of the film, “CURED”
Dean College will hold a screening and discussion of the film “CURED” on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 6:00 PM with co-director of the film, Bennett Singer.
“CURED” is an award-winning documentary that takes viewers inside the campaign that led to a pivotal yet largely unknown moment in the struggle for LGBTQ equality and dignity: the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 decision to remove the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental disorders.
Combining eyewitness testimony with newly unearthed archival footage, the film reveals how a small group of impassioned activists achieved this unexpected victory.
The screening will be held in the Arthur W. Peirce Center for Technology and Science Room S11 on the Dean College campus. The event is FREE and open to the public. An RSVP is encouraged as space is limited. Please email PresidentsEvents@dean.edu to reserve your spot.
