The Few, The Proud

The Few, The Proud Documentary and Concert DVD explores the issues surrounding the U.S. military's ban on gay and lesbian personnel.

Included are interview with Chorus members, Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer, and one of our singers who was deployed to Iraq where he had to "serve in silence."

The complete concert, as narrated by Col. Cammermeyer is included on the DVD. Also included on the program is a special appearance by Pat & Wally Kutteles, parents of soldier Barry Winchell, who was brutally murdered because fellow soldiers thought he was gay.

All God's Children

On April 2, 2005, HMC premiered the original-concept program All God's Children. It was the second in a series of "musical documentaries," a unique program format that weaves together narrative, visuals, and music to tell the stories of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people and deals with relevant social issues.

All God's Children explores the experiences GLBT people have had with organized religion and the ways that communities of faith have dealt with the issues confronting the GLBT community.

The production was narrated by the Rev. Dr. Mel White, founder of Soulforce, and included displays of the moving Shower of Stoles Project.

Through programs like these, Heartland Men's Chorus best achieves its vision: Our Voices Enlighten, Inspire, Heal and Empower.
