UT: Sundance to Show "8: The Mormon Proposition"

At 2 p.m. Thursday, the 2010 Sundance Film Festival announced that former Utah newsman Reed Cowan would bring his new documentary to the elite festival. By 5 p.m. Thursday, Cowan learned religious and anti-gay activists were organizing, discussing online whether they should gather at Park City to show their angry opposition to the screening. Cowan's film is "8: The Mormon Proposition." It is described on the Internet Movie Database, www.imdb.com, as "a scorching indictment of the Mormon Church's historic involvement in the promotion and passage of California's Proposition 8," the proposition that banned same-sex marriage in California. "I know that it's going to be protested," Cowan said in an e-mail interview from his home base in Florida. "I just got forwarded a blog threatening boycotts and protests. ... I can tell you thousands of gay-rights leaders from all over the country are going to be marching in counterpoint to the other marches."
