Rejected by his mother, a young gay man finds unexpected strength, camaraderie, and support after he joins the Marines.

In Elegance Bratton’s deeply moving film inspired by his own story, a young, gay Black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, decides to join the Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in a system that would cast him aside. But even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the grueling routines of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-earned sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life.

EAGLE UPDATE:

Thank you so much to this amazing community for your outpouring of support for the 11 bald eagles admitted to The Raptor Center for intensive treatment following the probable pentobarbital poisoning.

While one eagle very sadly did not survive, we are excited to report that the 10 remaining eagles in our care have recovered from the initial suspected poisoning event. However, many are still being treated for problems such as aspiration pneumonia that developed while they were severely sedated from the toxin. A number of them also came to us with other ailments including lead poisoning and soft tissue injuries, which they are continuing to receive treatment for in our specialized hospital.

While these birds still have a long journey ahead of them back to full health, we are optimistic in their progress and so thankful for the support of their care by this community. We will continue to provide updates so you can follow along with their recovery journey.

This extremely sad event is another reminder that we, as humans, can and must do better. All too often, our doctors are treating birds that enter our clinic as a result of human-caused, completely preventable illnesses and injuries. Together, we can help protect the lives of not just raptors, like bald eagles, but the environment that we all share together.
