Reconciliation

Has we have just celebrated Father's Day I wanted to share with you a brand new movie to DVD that deals with the sometimes complex relationships between a father and a son.  Reconciliation is a movie that not only deals with father-son issues but also looks at the issue of homosexuality.  Nancy Heche, mother to Hollywood actress Ann Heche and author of the book The Truth Comes Out has said, "This superb film will probably break your hear. It has a message that could change your life." 

This groundbreaking, provocative story about a son struggling to reconcile with his estranged, gay father as they overcome the heartbreaking consequences of their past.  I had the chance to speak with writer and director of this movie, Chad Arendt.  To listen to the interview please click here or scroll down.
