Finding Meaning in Life: A Wonderful Piece of Film

Independent Lens: Water Flowing Together

This is the biography of Jock Soto, a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet for 24 years. Born on a Navajo reservation in Arizona, he embodies art, dedication, and self-actualization. His story is utterly unique. His story also demonstrates what can happen when parents embrace their child's dream.

The Rev. Haggard Story

Wow.... There's a guy in pain. Rev. Haggard must have a lot of self-hate to place himself in the position of a powerful evangelical minister, trying in desperation to deny that he is gay, declaring that homosexuality is sinful, denouncing his own feelings as evil. So, he turns in secrecy to a prostitute. It's easy to believe that he also may have indulged in the drugs to ease his anguish. I can't help but feel compassion for him, even though in his denial and self-delusion, he spread his pain to many, many people. He needs a great deal of help, and I hope he can allow himself reach out to those who can help him find healing and acceptance.
