The other day, I mentioned the great new documentary Preacher’s Sons, which shows us five years in the lives of two gay dads and the five boys they adopt from California’s foster care system.
In the Life television will be airing the first 20 minutes of the 90-minute film online and on public television in November. If you want the full version for yourself, however, the DVD’s are now available at the film’s Web site. They’re only $20 each, three for $50, or ten for $100. Buy copies for all your friends, plus the schools, libraries, and social service agencies near you. (Filmmaker C Roebuck Reed is developing study guides for high school and college students, and for child service agencies to use in training foster and adoptive parents.)
Here’s my interview with Reed at Bay Windows. She calls the film “a love bomb for Middle America,” a gentle, non-confrontational way to change hearts and minds and ensure more children have the chance to be adopted.
Reed is hoping for investors to fund further distribution and showings. If you know of (or are) an angel investor, or have any clout with film festivals, please contact her at preacherssons@gmail.com.
(I have absolutely no financial interest in this; I just think it is a well done film with a very important message.)
