Children Of God movie opens in New York today

I wish I was in New York right now. The film Children of God opens in Manhattan today at the legendary Quad Cinema. The film has already received great reviews from Hollywood Reporter, Variety, & New York Times. 

This movie is directed by Kareem Mortimer & is originated from his 2007 short film "Float".
Children of God takes place in the Bahamas & tackles the subject of homophobia in the West Indies.

Following an interracial romance between a white boy from Nassau Falls and a buff black islander, they face all obstacles in the islands while also trying to learn from one another. Focusing on religion & being a child of God, this movie delivers all the way. Within the film the director focuses on gay love, religious hatred, the down low, & homophobia.

Unfortunately, only a few months before filming, several gay men were killed in the movie's key locations.

This a must see film obviously & I am glad that a director took on such subjects that the audience needs to see & hear. The film will expand to the west coast eventually, & I hope the film makes it's way to Portland's Fox Tower.
