PETE P. SMITHSUTH photo Muslims. A member of the audience, during the question and answer, asked about the secret tapes uncovered by investigators. He said Mormon leaders, including M. Russell Ballard, Quentin L. Cook and L. Whitney Clayton, had their voices presented in a distorted manner. The filmmakers first blamed the quality of the audio retrieved, but later added that although there was no distortion in the audio, the general soundtrack accompanied helped show their feelings when they heard the tapes. Textual transcriptions were also on the screen for the audience. Another audience member, Channing Sargeant, said the truth was not distorted, but rather told more clearly. "We need to show how hurt we've all been — people gay and straight alike — and do whatever we can do to show how hurt we are. We need to be personal and passionate about this issue," she said. Jones said the basis of the film is to create dialogue and stir up conversations among groups. "It is amazing to be in Sundance sharing that message with people who supported us being able to get married and people who didn't support us. That's what this movie was all about, starting dialogue, and I'm happy to see that the process has already started," he said. The audience was met by protestors against the views of the LDS church. The protestors gathered in front of the theater before the screening, chanting, "Separate church and eight." Protestors in favor of the LDS church were rumored, but none were present at the screening. Cowan hopes the film will be distributed to the right audience. "This film needs a home" he said. "We need a distributor that believes in this film as much as our audience does." The film "8: The Mormon Proposition" will continue to play in Park City Monday, Tuesday and Friday. It will be showing in Salt Lake City at the Tower Theatre on Wednesday, Jan. 27. Seen the film?
