A film by the Hunter College Film and Media Department’s Tami Gold and David Pavlosky.

Synopsis:

In the post-industrial city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, an 18 year-old entered a gay bar named Puzzles, and attacked its patrons with a hatchet and gun.  As a result, two very different communities are threatened. The loose circle of disaffected white youth who call themselves Juggalos, — followers of the Detroit-based white-rap/ band Insane Clown Posse (ICP) and the vibrant but fragile oasis for drag performers and closeted working class gay men and lesbians at Puzzles Lounge. PUZZLES charts these divergent journeys as they unfold, and along the way, reveals an underlying quality that these different worlds share: the abiding need for family.

Presented by the LGBT Social Science and Public Policy Center at Hunter College.
