For 25 years, the Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus has been more than music.

It’s been connection. Belonging. A place where voices come together to create something bigger than themselves.

This upcoming documentary traces that journey, from the early days of the Des Moines Men’s Chorus to the vibrant, evolving community we know today. Through the voices of those who lived it, this film explores how a chorus became a lifeline, a platform, and a force for change.

Set against the backdrop of shifting cultural moments, both locally and nationally, the story unfolds through personal experiences, shared history, and the enduring power of music to move hearts and minds.
