Described as “the movie Hollywood is afraid to make,” The Heart Of The Beholder sounds like quite a compelling story:
The story was a true account of how a young couple was ruined by a group of religious fundamentalists because they were the only video store owners who dared to carry Martin Scorsese’s controversial film, The Last Temptation of Christ. The couple stood up against relentless harassment, intimidation, and even death threats. When the couple refused to buckle, the religious zealots blackmailed the District Attorney into destroying their business and family.
The story implied that there might be a happy ending, but since I haven’t heard about the case, I’m not sure. It sounds as if it’s definitely a story that needs to be told, whatever the outcome.
