About the Film:
Israel’s thriving and pioneering gay community is extoled in this documentary featurette that examines a side of the Jewish State that is often overlooked.
In a region where homosexuality is often illegal and even punishable by death, LGBT rights in Israel are considered the most progressive in the Middle East. Crisscrossing the country in an engaging guided tour of gay equality and integration, the film introduces a diverse range of men, including a gay member of Israel’s parliament, a trainer who served openly in the army, a young Arab-Israeli journalist, and a pair of dads raising their kids in a loving home. Other stops include a heartwarming same-sex marriage ceremony and Tel Aviv’s wild nightlife scene.
UNDRESSING ISRAEL: GAY MEN IN THE PROMISED LAND is hosted and produced by gay adult film star and entrepreneur Michael Lucas, a Russian-born American-Israeli who has established himself as a respected advocate for a host of social issues facing the LGBT community and beyond.
