QSundance — 8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION
8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION director Reed Cowan introduced the World Premiere of his documentary about Prop 8 and the Mormon Church this week at the Sundance Film Festival saying:
“Really, my personal reason – aside from giving [the people in the film] a voice – is the fact that I was a kid in Roosevelt, Utah, who knew what it was like to be called a ‘faggot’ every day,” he said. “I knew what it was like to go to church and hear that word in the hall. I knew what it was like to want to kill myself for what I silently fought my whole damn life… And, really, the root of it all was that my church taught that I was a monster for who I was authentically.”
