8: The Mormon Proposition

Director Reed Cowan initially planned on making a documentary about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah but soon realised that the hompphobia that prompts otherwise loving parents to kick teenagers out of their homes is deep-seated in current Mormon ideology.

The movie exposes the Mormon Church's historic involvement in the promotion and passage of California's Proposition 8 and the religion's secretive, decades-long campaign against gay rights.

The film takes place in California and Utah as Mormons, following their prophet's call to action, wage spiritual warfare with money and misinformation against gay citizens, doing everything they can to deny them of marriage and the rights that come with it.

Directed by Reed Cowan.
