Event
Please join us for a screening of award-winning documentary CURED, followed by a Q&A with the joint-directors of the film, Bennett Singer and Patrick Sammon.
Pinsent Masons is pleased to announce a private screening of CURED, an award-winning documentary CURED that highlights a pivotal but little-known moment in LGBTQ history when activists rose up to challenge a formidable institution — and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQ equality and dignity.
We are hosting a live in-person screening of the 55-minute film. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about the film featuring the project’s co-directors. Described as “fascinating” (Hollywood Reporter), “riveting” (The Queer Review), and “one of the best documentaries of this or any year” (British Film Institute) — and nominated for an Emmy Award in 2022 — CURED takes viewers inside the David-versus-Goliath battle that led the American Psychiatric Association to remove the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses in 1973. Watch the trailer for the film.
While CURED highlights a little-known story from the past, its lessons are profoundly relevant today. Ultimately, the documentary celebrates the pathbreaking contributions of LGBTQ pioneers while demonstrating that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, lasting social change is possible.Pinsent Masons is proud to partner with the producers of CURED to offer this free event to our employees, clients, and friends. We’ll provide more details about this event soon and hope you’ll join us March 2 to watch and discuss this inspiring film!
