No Place Like Home: The Struggle Against Hate in Kansas

"No Place Like Home: The Struggle Against Hate in Kansas" is a 57 minute documentary film directed by Kevin Willmott and narrated by Melissa Etheridge .

This film explores the challenges for acceptance and compassion that LGBTQ+ people face through stories of gains and losses, love and hatred, and the willful ignorance that continue to make this effort so arduous yet vital for the very soul of our humanity far beyond the borders of Kansas.

Recorded practically live at Doc von's, this song is adapted from an old Charley Patton song - the renowned delta blues musician and songwriter who recorded the original in 1929. Living in or near Lawrence, Kansas, the Bopaphonics have adapted the song to our home and our style. Enjoy!
