We're thrilled to announce that "Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln" is now available to stream in the United States and Canada.
Lover of Men examines the intimate life of America’s most consequential president, Abraham Lincoln. As told by preeminent Lincoln scholars, historical recreations and never before seen photographs and letters, the film details Lincoln’s romantic relationships with men.
This movie transcends Lincoln’s identity; it offers a universal message about acceptance. It examines how sexual identity and gender roles were much more fluid in the 19th century, and how cultural forces converged to shape our modern perception of sexuality as static and unchanging, when in fact it has always been more dynamic. As we honor LGBTQ+ History Month, Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln serves as a timely and essential conversation starter.
