Sojourners
Written by Jonathan Norton
Directed by Raz Golden
Zeno, the faculty sponsor of the Gay-Straight Student Alliance has had enough! He says deuces to his high school teaching job and is ready to start a new chapter. But after coming into possession of a car used by young queer activists during Mississippi Freedom Summer, Zeno's life takes a quick U-turn. Jumping back and forth through time eventually worlds collide, forcing Zeno to face his greatest fear: the classroom.
