Out in the Dark - Premium Outdoor Camping Gear for Night Adventures | Hiking, Backpacking & Survival Equipment

Out in the Dark is a very difficult movie to watch, emotionally. This film transcends the narrow category of "gay film" and becomes much, much more as a story about anyone who is persecuted. The acting is superb, so much so, that you care for them as though they were real people and are drawn into their world. The story starts innocently enough, a chance encounter at a gay club, but gradually becomes more and more complicated and dangerous for the two leads.An air of desperation grows as all avenues of a solution (legal refugee status for Nimr) dry up and with Israeli security closing in, you become keenly aware of the danger to the Palestinian boyfriend, Nimr.It is at this point that my heart began to ache, realizing that the odds are against them with little or no hope. It would be as though you were watching your two dearest friends trapped in a similar situation."Love will find a way" is so important to 'Roy' (the Israeli boyfriend), that he sacrifices everything to safeguard 'Nimr Mashrawi" from harm.I give this movie 5 stars and should have been nominated for 'Best Picture of the Year' at the Oscars, not just Best Foreign film, its' that good.The film's ending leaves room for a sequel, even though the director may have intended to be a stand alone film to emphasize a point. However, many fans have been clamoring for a sequel, because the couple deserve a 'happy ending' and not be left out in limbo, never to be addressed.
