Behind-the-Scenes - This video clip is the first of three videos that show background information and news footage about the censorship crackdown in St. Louis that was brought on by a religious group called the National Federation for Decency. Our Writer/Director, Ken Tipton, was the owner of the largest video rental chain in St. Louis called Video Library. He was also the only video store owner to stand up to Reverend Donald Wildmon's National Federation for Decency when they demanded the removal of Martin Scorsese's controversial film, "The Last Temptation of Christ". It cost Ken's family their multi-million dollar business, their home and cars, and almost their lives.But everything was not as it seems and is explained in the movie with a very shocking surprise ending. So surprising that our second Best Feature Film award came from an all Christian audience in the Kentucky Bible-Belt.For more information about the National Federation for Decency go to this link - http://www.mediacoalition.org/reports/wildmon.htmlFor more information about our how our Web Theater works and why we are doing it this way, search for our Web Theater introduction video titled HOTB-BTS-00.HEART of the BEHOLDER - www.Beholder.com

  • Freedom is fragile

    This man is very honest. As the silent majority of people opposed to fundamentalism is too afraid or too lazy to speak out we need to do everything we can to protect the rights of people who are free otherwise the outspoken minority of ill-willing people will make this world unlivable.
