DENVER, December 5, 2023–Fathom Events and Grace-Based Films present “A Case For Love,” directed by Brian Ide and produced by Brian Ide, Steven Fleenor, Chuck Robertson, Spero Stamboulis, and Tony Briggle.

The trailer is available at: www.acaseforlovemovie.com

“A Case For Love” is a documentary that examines whether or not love, specifically unselfish love, is the solution to the extreme societal and political divide facing the U.S.

Now, more than ever, we live in a divided society. Many have moved into tribal corners, seeing the world from an “us versus them” point of view. This documentary focuses on everyday people from across the U.S., striving to live their lives selflessly while representing various ethnicities, walks of life, and socio-economic backgrounds.

In addition to these people, well-known figures, including Sec. Pete Buttigieg, Al Roker, Sam Waterston, Rev. Becca Stevens, Rep. John Clyburn, Dr. Russell Moore, Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas, Sen. John Danforth, Rabbi Yeheil Poupko, Dr. Mohammed Elsanousi, Rabbi Shoshana Conover, and Jon Meacham offer insight.  Ultimately, Bishop Michael Curry, best known for his passionate sermon about “The Power of Love” at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle puts what we’ve seen into context.

“A Case For Love” explores the themes of racial justice, sexual identity, military service, foster care, politics, sex trafficking, disability, loss of loved ones, refugees, volunteerism, food justice, and more.

Tickets for the “A Case For Love” are available for purchase HERE starting December 1.  Tickets can also be purchased via participating theater box offices. A complete list of theater locations (subject to change) can be found at Fathom Events.
