Family Fundamental

With over 100 international film excellence awards to his credit, Arthur Dong's talent and undeniable integrity shines in his engrossing, heartfelt, and provocative films. In FAMILY FUNDAMENTALS, Dong displays his rare gift for unflinching impartiality as he delves into the lives of fundamentalist families actively opposed to homosexuality, despite the fact that they have gay offspring themselves. Armed with a digital camera as he travels across the United States, Dong introduces these intensely personal stories as metaphors of the ongoing culture wars over homosexuality. Uniquely praised by both conservative and liberal audiences alike for its honest and compassionate explorations of differing viewpoints, the film's many highlights include a Christian conference advocating reparative therapy to cure homosexuality, heated Congressional and television debates, a fundamentalist support group for parents of gay children, and other heartrending stories that represent a struggle that continues to tear apart families, communities, and the nation.
