I recently came upon a story that angered and saddened me.

Background

The story (that continues to this day!) is based on the true story of
Ken Tipton and his family. It began, innocuously enough, with a client
who was very pleased when Ken fixed a payroll computer on which
someone had vomited when Ken worked for IBM. Ken's client gave him one
of the first VCR players - you remember, the one's that weighed 60
lbs! This simple gesture gave the younger Tipton yet another
entrepreneurial idea. Ken and his wife, pregnant with their first
child, took all their savings and opened Video Library in St. Louis,
Missouri.

Fast forward to the early 90's, after several attempts by a
conservative group to weed out films that offended their sense of
decency - i.e. "Splash" because Tom Hanks makes love to a mermaid -
bestiality! When Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" was
released Ken, initially, complied with requests not to rent it through
his growing Video Library chain. Tipton, later, changed his mind and
put Scorsese's film back on the shelves. What follows, in the film
"Heart of the Beholder", is a true depiction of intimidation, death
threats, stings, duplicitous elected officials and, eventually, pay
back.

It took years to make "Heart of the Beholder" and cost Tipton his
family, his business and (almost) his life. "Heart of the Beholder"
has won more "Best Feature Film" awards than any other independent
movie ever; and, yet, no one will distribute this film because
intimidation is still a present threat. Darlene Lieblich is the
Executive Producer of "Heart of the Beholder", with Ken Tipton as the
Writer|Director.
