WB: Impact at the Movies

Making an impact in the movies.

Producer Jonathan Flora of "A Distant Thunder" and his wife Deborah stars in it. It is a movie about abortion.

They said many conservatives are "coming out" in Hollywood. She said Hollywood profoundly impacts culture and our children.

She talked about the movie "Philadelphia" and how it normalized homosexuality and AIDS to the culture. Deborah said TV shows soon began to incorporate homosexual characters. She said the coming thing in TV will be transsexual characters.

Deborah called on people not to abandon Hollywood but to work to change it to make it's impact for good.

Jonathan talked about how war movies he watched as a child inspired him toward courage and honor, and had a part in his joining the military. However, he said movies being made today aren't good like this, because conservatives have abandoned Hollywood or are reluctant to speak up.

Deborah said it's not too late to jump into the culture war, and that we have to do it. She mentioned how the movie A Distant Thunder that she and her husband made was watched by many South Dakotans last year during South Dakota's abortion ban debate.
