The Gift

Description

A memorable and historically-accurate tale of religious extremism and the struggle for acceptance. Fully entrenched in Jehovah’s Witness belief in the fast-approaching end of the world, Butch Blackwell discovers the wonders of the world around him with an endlessly patient and kindhearted rancher, he embraces the cowboy culture and struggles to live as his authentic self. In the late 20th Century, rural communities in America were often hostile to the rising-awareness of LGBT people, and Butch is soon cast aside by his church for homosexuality.
