Not A Tame Lion (2022)
Vital Piece of History, Fascinating Man
I was privileged to see the film at the Arlington International Film Festival, where it was very warmly received and generated numerous questions and comments from the audience. The film captures both the pivotal moment in history in which John Boswell played such a major part and the driving forces behind Boswell's work. Interviews with colleagues, family, and historians attest to the incredible impact Boswell had--not only on the acceptance of gay Christians by their church but on the modern acceptance of gay marriage in the United States and many North American and European countries. Anecdotes shared by those who knew him revealed his personal faith, his commitment to scholarship, and his charm and wit. Boswell was a superb scholar, teacher, advocate, and friend, whose story is now, finally, being known and shared.
