New documentary to shed light on experiences of LGBTQ+ students at religious colleges

Makenna Cofer made a pair of short documentaries while attending John Brown University. One was called “Part of the Kingdom” and shared the stories of queer students attending southern religious schools. Now based in New York, Cofer is creating a feature-length film of the same name. She spoke with Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams about how old projects are informing her new film.
