WHERE REALITY PLAYS ITSELF
That’s what happens at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. Tonight, one of the films on tap is Sweetgrass. Last night, Cleanflix was one of the offerings. The film showed that one community’s desire to censor violent and sexual content in film doesn’t mean R-rated content is dead in their actual lives.
The setting was the Mormon community in the Salt Lake City area, and it reminded me of another interesting bit on the non-discrimination ordinance coming soon to a (political) theater near you.
A Montana Human Rights Network organizer said Salt Lake City adopted last fall an ordinance similar to the one heading Missoula’s way, and with support from the Mormon church. One reason? It didn’t touch marriage. Here’s a transcript on the Deseret News site from a Latter-day Saint spokesman.
Salt Lake City adopted its ordinance unanimously. The documentary festival runs through Thursday. OMG. That’s tomorrow. Schedule here.
