Reviews of No Shame in this Game taken from an anonymous survey

“Being still in the stage of accepting my diagnosis this film moved me a lot emotionally because I could relate to everyone’s story…I have only told one person but the film made me want to wear a sign. I saw how empowered everyone who is open about it and have success in dating.. and it’s very inspiring to me as an HSV+ person…I look forward to the day when I am fully comfortable with it but this film truly left a positive… mark on me and make me want to continue to work on acceptance.”

“No Shame in this Game left me feeling more connected to humanity, filled with love, and hopeful for the future. Thank you!”

“I hope No Shame In This Game becomes larger and more successful that the community and the film can reach many people.”

No Shame in this Game tells the story of shame, acceptance and empowerment of 7 people living with sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Each person discusses their journey through each of the aforementioned stages to demonstrate the possibility of living a life of full sexual self expression, fun, and freedom while being STI positive – a story not widely told and generally too taboo to discuss openly in some communities.

We hope that our viewers walk away feeling like they, too, can live their lives shamelessly.
