Product Description
The Power of Harmony, through the personal experiences of a gay mens chorus, takes an intimate look at controversial issues of the day: coming out and gay marriage, religious views on homosexuality and gay adoption. The Turtle Creek Chorale is a gay organization that refuses to live on the fringes. They have survived, indeed thrived, for over 25 years, right in the heart of the Bible belt: Dallas, Texas. They are first class musicians. They are irreverent, outrageous, angry, forgiving, and compassionate. They are individuals battling together in an intolerant world. Through music, they have transformed the painful experiences of death and dying from AIDS, and rejection from their own families and churches, into a powerful voice for compassion and equality. The Power of Harmony captures moments of deep sorrow, and the need for human connection and community. It also reveals the joy that humor and music can bring. As the documentary unfolds: Tim, the artistic director and former Baptist minister of music, recounts the devastation left in the wake of his coming out and the spiritual fulfillment of self-acceptance. Mark and Richard travel to an orphanage in Guatemala to realize their dream of parenthood. Zan, after 23 years of separation and rejection from his family, confronts them, with surprising results. Anne, the beloved and feisty accompanist, faces cancer with the love and support of her brothers in the choir, who have experienced the loss of over 140 members to AIDS. Fred, with daily care from his devoted partner of 30 years, struggles through serious illness, and hopefully, a return to the stage. The Turtle Creek Chorale provides a place of safety and a family of choice for those rejected by their own. Through music, they deliver a powerful message of acceptance, bridging the gay community with the rest of the world. The Power of Harmony is an important documentary that informs, inspires, and entertains.
