Based on the best-selling memoir by award-winning journalist Shannon Molloy, Fourteen tells the inspirational true story of growing up gay in central Queensland.

Despite the adversity, Shannon's story is one of resilience, hope, and humour, thanks to his close-knit group of friends, a fiercely protective family, and an extraordinary mother. Set to nostalgic 90s hits from artists like Shania Twain and The Spice Girls, Fourteen is a blend of honesty, humour, and heart that tackles serious themes with sensitivity and depth. Previous Next
