Prayers For Bobby

Three-time Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Sigourney Weaver delivers a critically acclaimed performance in Prayers For Bobby, the true story of gay rights advocate Mary Griffith, a deeply religious suburban housewife and mother who struggled to accept her son's homosexuality. Independent Spirit Award winner Ryan Kelley (Mean Creek) portrays Bobby Griffith, a gay teenager searching for love and understanding from his mother who is torn between her loyalties, challenged by her faith and moved by a tragedy that would change her life - and the lives of others - forever.

Winner of the 2010 GLAAD Award for Outstanding Television Movie or Mini-Series and nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards (Outstanding Made-For-Television Movie, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Mini-Series or Movie), the Golden Globe Award (Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television) and Producers Guild of America Award (Producer of the Year Award in Long-Form Television), Prayers For Bobby is a "must-see for everyone" (Rosie O'Donnell).
