“Sorry We Missed You” is a series about under-the-radar changemakers. The pilot episode is about John Boswell, a Catholic LGBTQ historical researcher, who was a professor at Yale University. Narrated through live footage with television reports and newspaper articles the episode highlights the importance of Boswell’s contributions and paints a picture of the pushback that happened because of the dialogue his textbooks brought about regarding the church and acceptance of homosexuality. With a recent survey concluding that 20% of the millennial population identifies as LGBT, Boswell’s work clearly benefited many.
