"Hero Camp!" Screening Past

Saturday, September 20, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM Stoughton Public Library

The Rainbow Knights hosted a special screening of Hero Camp! — a coming-of-age documentary about three queer teens on the path to self-discovery at a LARP camp.

The documentary Hero Camp! by Sam Ho takes place in Sidleterra, a faraway realm. Well…a hotel in Massachusetts. However, for the campers, Soul, Anakin, and Ryan, this live-action role-playing (LARP) camp is a medieval fantasy land. While destroying monstrosities with foam swords, they battle their inner conflicts. Then, once the cloaks are hung up and swords are sheathed, how will they battle their conflicts in the real world?
