OUR HOUSE is the first national television documentary about kids with lesbian and gay parents made by the daughter of a lesbian mom. It premiered on public television in June 2000, was rebroadcast on Sundance Channel, and has been shown in film festivals all over the world. OUR HOUSE is now available as a DVD from First Run Features, with special DVD extras including updates on the families, a conversation with filmmaker Meema Spadola and participant Ry Russo-Young, and plenty of resource information.

In OUR HOUSE, director Meema Spadola travels to cities and rural areas in Arizona, Arkansas, New Jersey and New York to profile the sons and daughters of five families -- African American, Latino and white; Mormon, Christian,and Jewish -- who illustrate some of the diversity of America's gay and lesbian families. This website includes more information about the film and can link you to many useful resources.
