Family Fundamentals

Family Fundamentals is filmmaker Arthur Dong's personal attempt to answer an explosive question: "What happens when conservative Christian families have children who are homosexual?" Armed with a digital camera, Dong takes viewers into the private and public lives of three families where parents actively campaign against gay civil rights, despite having gay offspring themselves. A search for common ground between seemingly diametrically opposed camps, Family Fundamentals is also a battlefield report from America's profound and disquieting culture war over homosexuality.
