Last Year / (Ws Spec Dol)

THE LAST YEAR explores the challenges of coming out while coming of age in a hostile religious environment. Paul (Ron Petronicolos) is a gay student at a conservative Bible college struggling to reconcile his homosexual identity with his religious convictions. When he strikes up a relationship with new student Alex (Mike Dolan), Paul faces the very un-Christian hatred of his fellow students and possible expulsion from the school's closeted Dean. Based on a true story, THE LAST YEAR fashions a thoughtful examination of the clash between spirituality and sexuality.
