CGiii Comment
...And what the f&*k was that?!? We are very angry.
This is a putrid promotional film for born-again Christians.
Obviously, their numbers are in deep jeopardy - so, they have decided to recruit fallen homos.
The sheer insidiousness of this film will have you grabbing for the nearest crucifix and ramming in the eye of the nearest child-molesting priest - never has hypocrisy been so blatantly portrayed on screen...and, to add insult to injury...done without the merest trace of intelligence.
What makes this worse - is the obnoxious sentimentality - NO - the gay man did not contract the virus through sex - it was from contaminated blood. Oooh that's alright then!!! How dare you judge.
Those who buy into this preposterous garbage are - without a sliver of doubt - unhappy with their lives - and, it's not because of the loss of God in their lives - it's because of bad education, a fraught society and a lack of imagination.
An utter abomination.
Repugnant and dangerous rhetoric.
Evil.

RECONCILIATION is a groundbreaking, provocative story about an estranged father and son struggling to overcome the heartbreaking consequences of their past. Grant Taylor (Eric Nenninger) has been troubled by intense childhood memories ever since his wife, Sara (Chelsey Crisp), gave him the exciting news..."You are going to be a dad!" As fatherhood nears, Grant privately wrestles with his embarrassment and anger toward his own father. His memories come to a head when Sara receives a call informing them that Grant's dad, Jeff (Jack Maxwell), is terminally ill and his last wish is to see his son. With Sara's encouragement, Grant reluctantly goes to see the man he disowned at his 10th birthday party, when he found out his father was gay. At the hospice, father and son confront the past as they come face to face for the first time in 16 years. Will Grant forgive his father for abandoning their family? Will Jeff forgive Grant for the hateful words he said years ago?
