The documentary Real Hope, Real Truth, Real Answers received a Storyteller Award at the 2009 Redemptive Film Festival in Virginia Beach and was the 2009 winner in the Documentary Open category at the International Youth and Christian Film Festival in the United Kingdom.

The documentaries intimate window into Exodus International and the Christian ex-gay movement continues to surprise viewers. Most are not even aware that a Christian ex-gay movement exists and are stunned to learn it has been ongoing for over thirty years.

In October “Real Hope, Real Truth, Real Answers” received the Best Documentary award at the International Christian Film Festival of 2008 held in Irvine, California.

Real Hope, Real Truth, Real Answers - the 2006 Exodus Freedom Conference was recognized as a BCIFF 2008 Honorable Mention Documentary. It was a fruitful trip to Houston and Truth Search Productions hopes that the staff at the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival have a prosperous and God inspired future.

I am looking forward to “Real Hope’s” premiere at the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival in Houston. A preliminary version of the documentary was screened last October at a Christian film festival in San Francisco. It was a rewarding experience for me to hear the audience reactions throughout the docudrama and then later hear how it moved them.

After the screening a woman working as a greeter told me that as the documentary was playing several of the youth workers at the festival came out of the auditorium to encourage their fellow youth workers to go in and watch the documentary. Their message to their friends was “You’ve gotta see this!” That is pretty much my perspective on the Christian ex-gay movement. Words cannot adequately describe and explain these individuals and their mission. You gotta see it to best understand it.
