From the director of the acclaimed "For the Bible Tells Me So" comes "For They Know Not What They Do," a new documentary that explores the intersection of religion, sexual orientation and gender identity in current-day America.
The arrival of marriage equality was seen by many as the pinnacle achievement of the march toward full equality for LGBTQ people. But for many on the Right, it was the last straw, and their public backlash has been swift, severe and successful. In collaboration with religious conservatives, politicians are invoking both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution in their campaigns for the 'religious freedom' to legally discriminate. By telling the stories of four families struggling with these issues, the film offers healing and understanding to those caught in the crosshairs of scripture, sexuality, and identity.
In the wake of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case legalizing marriage equality, the Right has launched an effective, new, state-by-state campaign to limit the rights of America's LGBTQ citizens across the country. Their backlash has been swift, severe, and successful.
for they know not what they do takes us on a journey of understanding what connects us all and gives us the courage to embrace each other.
