Product Description: Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle Interntional Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kil anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp.
Through the experience of five very normal, very Christian , very American families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson - we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. With commentary 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.

For So Great A Treasure, Words Will Never Do!
I had heard about this film last year and was eagerly awaiting it's arrival in Chicago [before I moved]. I was finally able to see it. I was moved and blessed by every aspect of this film. I've been showing it to my parents and to friends hoping to change minds and move hearts. Thankfully, it's working.
There have been a few criticisms that it's a bit one sided, and you know what, it's true. It's true because this is a film that's only being told by one side of the equation, so naturally, it will only be the opinions, beliefs and feelings of those who have continually felt the negative effects of bigoted Christianity in their lives. It's not the filmmakers job to be completely balanced, not every story is fair. Surely, what the men and women went through in this film wasn't fair, so to chide the film for not being completely fair to Christianity is a bit insulting to the integrity of the entire piece.

God is God
I will not speak about the pain so beautifully portrayed nor the compelling logic of the author's view; neither will I touch on the subtlety of the intimate feelings expressed. Instead, I would only express the reverence I feel for what we have come to call 'believers.' Only God knows whether we have even correctly understood the questions presented, I can only say that as a Christian I am pleased and moved to see and hear Christians wrestle with what may or may not be right.

Eye-opening, Mind-opening
Very well done! This documentary brings to light todays latest issue of bigotry from the Christian church. Just like women's rights, and slavery...the issue of homosexuality needs to be reviewed by the church according to what the Bible says..NOT by what the church's political agenda says.
I was throroughly impressed and enjoyed this documentary. Thank you for making it and opening the hearts and minds of so many. I pray that many will see it. |
