Movie:
"Prayers for Bobby" is probably one of the most harrowing things you will ever see. Sigourney Weaver delivers an awesome tour-de-force performance as a devout bigoted mother who unwittingly drives her 20-year old gay son to suicide, then undergoes a very long journey towards redemption. It's mostly the mother's story but the entire family's anguish is unflinchingly portrayed. It's horrible to realize that they are all simply the victims of their church and faith which turns its back on them because after all it has nothing to offer them. Based on real-life events it's a made-for-TV film that premiered in the US last month.
