A capacity crowd of nearly 250 people packed Plymouth Congregational Church on Friday to screen a documentary film directed and produced by Helena-born filmmaker Kim Reed.

The evening came with much anticipation – church officials weren’t sure how the audience would respond to the subject of sexual identity and mental illness, while the family portrayed in the film had its own misgivings.

By the end of the evening, however, any concerns were laid to rest.
