Documentary; very real and serious topics with honest interviews.
Although the DVD version is probably fine, I bought the more expensive Blu-Ray version to support the film makers and the efforts they and others are putting in to stop bullying and discrimination caused by ignorance and bigotry. The movie itself was done well. It was often tough to see what the main character, the teenager CJ Bills, was going through across the time this was filmed. As so many millions of us know, his fight for survival and dignity was and unfortunately still is in many places what life is like, despite the great progress that has been made in anti-discriminatory laws and education.
There are also some good people appearing in the movie, some such as Reverend Mark and Diana Micklos, who show what it is like to be Christians limited by human shortcomings that can be trancended by God's love. It's a good documentary which shows a town struggle with different beliefs. Many citizens nonetheless succeed in fostering a sense of community and inclusion...
