Can you go home again? What if you're a gay man and home is a state where voters keep electing a homophobe to the US Senate? In 1996, native son Tim Kirkman returns to North Carolina to explore the parallels and differences between himself and Jesse Helms: they're from the same town and college, with media interests, from families blessed by adoptions, Baptists by upbringing. Tim puts his camera in front of his family, a boyhood pal, college friends, his pastor, Helms fans, community activists, novelists Lee Smith and Allan Gurganus, a mayor who's gay, and people in the street, including a brief interview with Matthew Shepard. What is it to judge, and what is it to love?

Movie Reviews

CNN.com - 8/10 by Paul TataraKirkman's big accomplishment is that he makes your blood boil even while the heat is turned on low.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohA straightforward, nicely diverse likeness of the country and its people that is highly informative and, at times, extraordinarily moving.
Variety - 4/10 by Daniel M. KimmelWhat [director] Kirkman succeeds in doing is proving that [Jesse] Helms and his bigotry should not personify North Carolina.
