Finding inspiration in Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Kareem Mortimer's film is the tale of an intense romance between an artist and a closeted musician on a small island in the Bahamas. Don't miss your chance to see the amazing Children of God.

For those of you lucky enough to have seen Kareem Mortimer's wonderful short, Float (PIGLFF 2008), you'll be excited to see the feature debut of this exciting Bahamian filmmaker. Johnny (Johnny Ferro) is an art student in Nassau whose technique is perfect, but he's creatively blocked. His teacher sends him off to the rural island of Eleuthera where he meets Romeo (Stephen Tyrone Williams), a hot musician. They begin a clumsy dance of attraction and romance. Romeo has a fiancé and is identified as straight, but he's been known to play with the boys on the side secretly. The Bahamas are bound by religious traditions that discourage homosexuality and end up forcing gay men into the closet. Lena is a pastor's wife. Her husband demonizes homosexuality to further his career, yet he's on the DL as well. When Lena discovers that her husband has infected her with VD, he accuses her of infidelities. These characters are all bound together in this intense drama of love, family and secrets. The filmmaker has honored the Bard well with his inspiration. With extraordinary cinematography (on a low budget), a vacation worthy setting, naturalistic actors and a mythic story Children of God is a superb tale of "a pair of star-cross'd lovers."

That happens to a lot of ignorant ass people in the world, who still are dumb enough (even until this day, especially religious nutcases) thinking that AIDS is still a so-called "gay disease."
