Summary
What happens when religiously conservative Christian parents have children who have "become homosexual?" FAMILY FUNDAMENTALS is filmmaker Arthur Dong's personal attempt to answer that explosive question. Armed with a digital camera, Dong takes viewers into the private and public lives of three families who have responded to gay offspring by actively opposing homosexuality. FAMILY FUNDAMENTALS goes to the heart of today's debate over homosexuality, where the personal is inextricably - and dramatically - bound up in the political. In today's contemporary society, sometimes even the most liberal families must find it discomfiting when gay children come out. For fundamentalist Christian families, the event can be polarizing and devastating
