Thu June 12, 7pm - Free screening @ the Somerville Armory of MA-based independent documentary film, "Hero Camp!" with Q&A with the filmmaker after https://www.eventbrite.com/e/documentary-film-screening-hero-camp-tickets-1363568543219
Trailer: https://vimeo.com/879904219

Synopsis: Hero Camp! is a coming of age documentary that follows three queer teens on their paths towards self-discovery at a live action role-play (LARP) summer camp. Set against the backdrop of suburban Massachusetts, the film captures how this extraordinary camp community transforms our world into the fantasy realm of Sidleterra, where they battle villains from the writings of Homer and Lewis Carroll. As each of them invent and role play as their camp characters, they unearth revelations about their own identities, which they gradually carry over to the real world.#SomervilleArmory

“I love my boots broke in, I love my camo hat
Don't mind a little paint on my jeans, yeah, I roll like that
I love drivin' my truck across the railroad track
If you hit it too quick, it'll hit you right back
I love a fresh cut field with a first frost on
How it shines like gold when the sun turns on
I love the sound of them wheels, my baby singin' along
When "Boys of Summer" comes on”
