In 1990, seven young male dancers joined Madonna on her most controversial
world tour. Their journey was captured in the 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare.
As a self-proclaimed 'mother' to her dancers, 6 gay and 1 straight, Madonna
used the film to make a stand on gay rights and freedom of expression. The
dancers became paragons of pride, inspiring people all over the world to dare
to be who you are. Twenty five years later, the dancers share their own stories
about life during and after the tour. What does it take to express yourself?
Filmmakers and Talent expected to be in attendance for a Q&A after the
film. http://mifofilm.com/films/info/823
