Mama's Boy

Traveling back to the places where he grew up, Black explores his childhood roots, gay identity and close relationship with his mother, who overcame childhood polio, abusive marriages and Mormon dogma, to become Black’s emotional rock and ultimately, the inspiration for his activism.

Adapted from Black’s 2019 memoir “Mama’s Boy: A Story from our Americas,” MAMA’S BOY centres around the upbringing of the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of Milk, Dustin Lance Black.
