American poet and activist Andrea Gibson shares their life story, starting from their childhood, describing their early struggles with identity and trauma from family and their awareness of their sexual identity. Gibson also explained how poetry intertwines personal pain and how it helps spread their messages about the LGBTQ community and human and political inequalities. Gibson also addresses the theme of love with their wife Megan Falley, with whom they recount the drama of their battle with terminal ovarian cancer diagnosed in 2021.

Come See Me in the Good Light is a 2025 American documentary film directed by Ryan White. Retracing the life of American poet and activist Andrea Gibson, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2025, where it received positive reviews from critics and won the Festival Favorite Award.
