Spread across the country but connected through private Facebook groups, over 30,000 mothers in America - many from conservative, Christian backgrounds - fully accept their LBGTQ+ children. They call themselves "mama bears" because while their love is warm and fuzzy, they fight ferociously to make the world kinder and safer for all LBGTQ+ people. Mama bears explores the journeys of two mama bears and a young lesbian whose struggle for self-acceptance examplifies why the mama bears movement is vitally important.
