Des hommes et des dieux (Of men and gods) est un film documentaire haïtien de 52 minutes réalisé par Anne Lescot et Laurence Magloire en 2002.

Synopsis

Ce documentaire, tourné en Haïti, décrit un groupe d'homosexuels et travestis, dans un contexte donné : le Vaudou (vodou). La mise en relation de ces deux mondes conduit le spectateur dans un univers symbolique particulier, où les non-dits de la société civile donnent à s'exprimer, parfois dans la plus grande extraversion et théâtralité, parfois avec une émotion profonde. Une émotion qui reflète la quête de sens et de reconnaissance d’individus marginalisés dans un pays où l’évocation de l’homosexualité, et qui plus est du travestissement, reste encore tabou.

The documentary details the experiences of several teenagers who were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to Escuela Caribe at their parents' behest. The film focuses on the plight of a Colorado high school student, David, sent to the school by his parents after he told them he was gay. The film also documents the experiences of two girls: Beth, who was sent to the school because of a "debilitating anxiety disorder", and Tai, who was sent for behavioral problems resulting from childhood trauma.

Director Reed Cowan, who is a former Mormon missionary, "planned on making a film about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah, but switched his focus to Mormon ideology because of how it contributes to the homophobia that causes these problems". The film focuses on the wealth and power of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how the Church uses the National Organization for Marriage to advocate for denial of rights to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans. It states that LDS Church leader Thomas S. Monson asked to ensure the passage of the controversial California Proposition 8. It also states that many homeless people in Utah are LGBT teens who were abandoned by their Mormon parents.
