CGiii Comment

This is a surprise...a pleasant one.

Technically, it's atrocious. But, content-wise, it's utterly charming.

Coming out stories from China - there's no rejection here - this is about Mothers accepting their child's sexuality, plain and simple...the result is a positive and productive potency.

Far more helpful for parents who face such challenges to their traditional, heterosexual existence.

The(ir) Blurb...

For Chinese parents, finding out that their kid is gay usually presents a major tragedy, with the big majority utterly unable to accept the homosexuality of their son or daughter. However, during recent years a fresh rainbow wind has been blowing over the Chinese mainland: a pioneer generation of Chinese parents has been stepping up and speaking out on their love for their gay kids. This documentary features 6 mothers from all over China, who talk openly and freely about their experiences with their homosexual children. With their love, they are giving a whole new definition to Chinese-style family bonds.
