Event
Prayers for Bobby
Sigourney Weaver stars in the heart-wrenching and inspiring true story of Mary Griffith, a suburban housewife struggling to accept her sons gayness. Its the 70s, and Mary is a devout Christian who raises her children by the conservative teachings of her church. When her son Bobby confides to his older brother he may be gay, Mary learns of the secret and begins a personal crusade to save him. While other family members come to terms with Bobbys homosexuality, Mary holds steadfast to her belief that God can cure his sin, persuading Bobby to pray harder and seek solace in the church. Desperate for his mother's approval, Bobby does what is asked of him, but the church's intolerance causes him to grow increasingly withdrawn and depressed. Bobby escapes to Portland, but his depression and self-loathing intensify, with devastating results. Faced with tragedy, Mary begins to question her faith and embarks on an emotional journey that she never could have imagined. PRAYERS FOR BOBBY is an extraordinary and powerful true story that resonates long after the film ends.
