Following the release of the new documentary, “We Live Here: The Midwest” on Hulu, Hulu on Disney+ and Disney+ internationally, Evoq Music has released the soundtrack on digital platforms including Amazon, Apple and Spotify.

The documentary tells the story of how all families must confront challenges, every day. But many also face a rising tide of discrimination and hate in their churches, schools, and even their own neighbourhoods.

“We Live Here: The Midwest” profiles families who hope to stay in a part of the country they love, and where they have often established deep roots: a trans/queer family with five children in Iowa must find a new community after being expelled from their church; a gay Black couple with a young daughter test the line of acceptance in Nebraska; a lesbian couple homeschool their bullied son on a farm in Kansas; a gay teacher in Ohio creates a safe space for LGBTQI+ students; and a couple in Minnesota struggles to rebuild their families following both of their transitions. Meanwhile, Minnesota Representative and queer mother, Heather Keeler, brings LGBTQI+ rights to the political forefront despite ongoing death threats.

Fundamentally, the film captures a crucial time where anti-queer legislation and sentiment is rapidly multiplying across the country, and the values of all midwestern families are put to the ultimate test.

The soundtrack has been composed by Dario Forzato, who has previously worked on “It Hits You When You Know It” and “Sharkskin”.
