In celebration of LGBT Pride Month, Chatham Community Library will host a virtual screening of the documentary Deep Run (2015), beginning June 10 and continuing through June 17, 2021.

Executive produced by Susan Sarandon, Deep Run is a powerful portrait of transgender life in rural Lenoir County, North Carolina. Cole, a young transgender Christian man, along with his girlfriend, Ashley, faces significant challenges, including hostile family and church members, and crippling financial burdens. Through all of these trials, their vision of an accepting God never falters. With a small community of supportive friends, the couple manages to create their own extended family, and their search for love and belonging leads them to a radical revision of what faith and a church can be. Deep Run explores the intersection of modern identity and faith in the American South. (Plot summary of Deep Run, IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2846196/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1).

LGBT Pride Month occurs in the United States to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.
