Preacher’s Sons is a wonderful new documentary that shows us five years in the lives of two gay dads and the five boys they adopt from California’s foster care system. I had the pleasure of interviewing filmmaker C Roebuck Reed recently, and while I can’t crosspost it here yet, you can read it over at Bay Windows.
In the Life television will be airing the first 20 minutes of the 90-minute film (plus an interview with Reed) in November. Check their site for local airtimes or to view it online.
The full DVD is for sale at www.preacherssons.com.
Reed says she made the film specifically for middle America, however, not just for the LGBT community. She is hoping for investors to fund further distribution and showings. If you know of (or are) an angel investor, please contact her at preacherssons@gmail.com.
On a related note, President Barack Obama, in his proclamation of November as National Adoption Month, said: “By continually opening up the doors to adoption, and supporting full equality in adoption laws for all American families [my emphasis], we allow more children to find the permanent homes they yearn for and deserve.”
Preacher’s Sons underscores why we have to hold him to this.
