WE ARE DAD

DIR/SCR. Michel Horvat, 2004, USA, video, 68 min.

Saints? Or sinners? Steven Lofton and Roger Croteau fell in love while working together in a pediatric AIDS ward in Florida in the early 1980s. They bravely battled homophobia and racism when they became foster parents to an ever-growing number of "throwaway" babies who had been diagnosed HIV positive. When 13-year-old Bert tested negative for the virus, nothing could have prepared these two men for the heartache they faced when the state decided that Bert must be placed with "normal" parents. Amidst the timely and incendiary politics of gay adoption, director Horvat asks "What is a family?" as he documents this courageous, heartfelt look at the power of love in the face of adversity and the effort of two men fighting to keep their family together.
