Undressing Israel: Gay Men In The Promised Land,

       I wanted to share a great new gay documentary film that my friend, Michael Lucas, has produced, Undressing Israel: Gay Men In The Promised Land. When many people think of Israel, it is often in terms of modern war or ancient religion. But there is much more to the Jewish state than missiles and prayers. In his debut as a documentary filmmaker, adult-film entrepreneur and political columnist Michael Lucas examines a side of Israel that is too often overlooked: its thriving gay community. Undressing Israel features interviews with a diverse range of local men, including a gay member of Israel’s parliament, a trainer who served openly in the army, a young Arab-Israeli journalist, and a pair of dads raising their kids. Lucas also visits Tel Aviv’s vibrant nightlife scene—and even attends a same-sex wedding—in this guided tour of a country that has emerged as a pioneer for gay integration and equality.                
Now available for purchase on Amazon.com

All proceeds from the sale of this movie will go towards the production of my next documentary, which will focus on the terrible mistreatment of gay people in today's Russia. Filming is set to start in mid-April.
