Product Description

Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating homosexuals and Christianity too wide to cross? How can the Bible be used to justify hate? These are the questions at the heart of Daniel Karslake s FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO. Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how people of faith handle, or sometimes tragically fail to handle, having a gay child. Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity. - - Honours - - 2007 Sundance Film Festival Nominee, Grand Jury Prize Seattle International Film Festival Audience Award For Best Documentary Full Frame Documentary Film Festival Kathleen Bryan Edwards Award For Human Rights Provincetown International Film Festival HBO Audience Award For Best Documentary Outfest Los Angeles Audience Award For Best Documentary Milwaukee International Film Festival Audience Award For Best Documentary Best Director For Documentary Image Out: The Rochester Gay And Lesbian Film Festival Audience Award For Best Documentary Reel Pride: Fresno Gay And Lesbian Film Festival Audience Award For Best Documentary Tampa International Gay And Lesbian Film Festival Grand Jury Prize For Best Documentary
