Canadian Film on Same-Sex Marriage Causes Deeper Thinking on Issue
“C-38, the search for marriage” unlike any other media treatment of subject
By Steve Jalsevac

EDMONTON, Alberta, - When Bill C-38, Canada’s law that extended marriage to same-sex couples, was passed June 28 last year, pro-marriage leaders were dismayed the public hearings process was cut very short and its report never presented. Even before the bill was passed though, a young Alberta film maker and his brother were already producing a unique video that would fairly present the views of numerous ordinary citizens and experts on both sides of the marriage issue.

“C-38, the search for marriage”, is now an astonishing, 77 minute professional exploration of 19 key aspects of the marriage and same-sex issues. It tackles what it calls “the most controversial issues of our century” head on in such a manner that objective viewers can’t help but be led to a deeper understanding of them. Although the title refers to a Canadian bill the discussion in the film would be just as helpful to viewers in other nations.
