COMMON SONS

COMMON SONS
Ronald L. Donaghe

A reckless bout of drinking at a dance ends in a very public kiss between two teenage boys. Set in the small town of Common, New Mexico in the mid-1960s, the two boys are unable to deal with their struggle in private as the story of their public kiss spreads through the town. Some seek to destroy the relationship between the two boys, while others seek to destroy the two boys themselves. A moving tale of self-discovery, love and finding the courage to come out and come to grips with truth in the face of hatred and adversity.
