In partnership with the American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF), Duke University School of Medicine is pleased to announce a special screening of CURED, an Emmy-nominated documentary that highlights a pivotal but little-known moment in LGBTQ and medical history when activists and psychiatrists challenged a formidable institution — and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQ equality and dignity. On Sunday, September 17th at 2 pm ET, we will host an in-person screening of the one-hour film, followed by a panel discussion featuring the project’s co-director Patrick Sammon in conversation with lesbian psychiatrist and Duke alum (’74) Dr. Margie Sved; local community member Michael Penny; and UNC Ph.D. student Dee Williams. Recent Duke graduate Sophia Chimbanda will moderate the conversation. The discussion will begin at 3 pm ET. If you’re unable to attend the live event, the 80-minute version of the film will be available to stream online from September 17-23. To stream the documentary, click here. You will be asked to enter an email address and provide your name, but you will not be charged.
