Fellowship is pleased to announce a special discounted offer
from TLA Video on the Trembling Before G-d Deluxe 2-Disc
DVD and video.
The
documentary film, Trembling Before G-D, has become a worldwide
movement, and is truly changing people's lives by shattering
assumptions about faith, sexuality, and religious fundamentalism.
The
film features intimate, personal stories of gay and lesbian
Orthodox and Hasidic Jews as they reconcile their passionate
love for Judaism with the Biblical prohibitions against
homosexuality. The Los Angeles Times writes, "Wonderful...
While [director Sandi Simcha DuBowski] explores the plight
of Orthodox Jews, both in America and abroad, what he
discovers applies to gay Catholics, Mormons and members
of other religions worldwide." Newsday calls it “Loving…
Healing…Eloquent…Moving,” TV Guide writes,
“A brave, groundbreaking film,” and the New
York Times calls it “Powerful… and unforgettable.”
The
film has won the following awards: GLAAD Media Award:
Outstanding Documentary of 2003, Official Selection Sundance
Film Festival, Teddy Award for Best Documentary at the
Berlin Film Festival, and Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary
at OUTfest Los Angeles.
The
Deluxe 2-Disc DVD includes the film itself with three
