You’re invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Fellow Travelers, followed by an in-person conversation with EP/creator/writer Ron Nyswaner, EP/writer Robbie Rogers and actor Jelani Alladin, moderated by festival programmer Michael Dougherty.

Fellow Travelers chronicles the decades-long risky, volatile and steamy relationship between the charismatic and ambitious Hawk, and the pious and idealistic Tim; two political staffers who fall in love at the height of the 1950s Lavender Scare. Through the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fueled disco culture of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, the two men’s fiery affair only intensifies despite the constant threat of being exposed and losing everything.
