Description

Director Melinda Maerker and producer David Clayton Miller are the duo behind the new Hulu documentary We Live Here: The Midwest, which looks at how Midwestern LGBTQ+ families are faring after increased discrimination in the Heartland.

Melinda and David join Heath to discuss some of the behind the scenes stories from the film, including the origins of the project, the challenges of finding families that were willing to speak on the record, working on a small film crew, and how the crew was received when on location.
