'8: The Mormon Proposition' Trailer


Not sure what I feel about this one.  I'll certainly disagree with some of the viewpoints this filmmaker is so obviously trying to make, but with such a touchy subject it might be hard for Oscar to pass this up come voting time.  Another early contender for Best Documentary I'd say.

The film will hit Salt Lake City, the heart of Mormon Country on June 11, 2010 at the Tower Theater. It will return on June 18th along with 12 other major cities. I find that most of the general population of Mormons have NO idea how they hurt and divided families with their actions on Prop 8. This film does a fabulous job of exposing the truth.

Moms,

I don't doubt your statements. However mainly because the film remains (at the moment) unreleased to the public to the best of my knowledge, I have to play devils advocate and ask if you have seen the film yourself.

Yes, I had the opportunity to see the film when it premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Each screening received sustained 5-7 minute standing ovations. And there were many Mormons in the crowd that said with tears in their eyes, that they had no idea the families that had been hurt.
