Mama Bears

This event took place on Sunday, March 13, 2022 at 3:00 PM UTC.

Usually when we say films are about transformation, we are speaking metaphorically, but "Mama Bears" is the story of women who have allowed nearly every aspect of their lives to be completely reshaped by love. Although they may have grown up as fundamentalist, evangelical Christians, mama bears are willing to risk losing friends, family, and faith communities to keep their children safe—even if it challenges their belief systems and rips their worlds apart. Shot in a poetic, deeply intimate style, the film uses social media posts, home movies, photos, interviews, and cinema verité to explore the complex intersections of politics, religion, faith, and true, unconditional love. Location: Alamo Lamar, Alamo Lamar E Runtime: 91 mins
