    Sedona AZ (May 22, 2017) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “3 Generations” — starring Susan Sarandon, Naomi Watts and Elle Fanning — showing June 2-7 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    “3 Generations” tells the stirring and touching story of three generations of a family living under one roof in New York as they deal with the life-changing transformation by one that ultimately affects them all.

    Ray (Elle Fanning) is a teenager who has struggled with the body assigned to him at birth and is determined to start transitioning. Dreading the prospect of another unhappy two years at his current school, Ray badly wants to begin hormone therapy so he can transfer to a new school and get a fresh start where people will only know him as a boy.

    His single mother, Maggie (Naomi Watts) — supportive and ready to do whatever he needs — must track down Ray’s biological father (Tate Donovan) to get his legal consent to allow Ray’s transition — a necessary step that knocks her completely off-balance.

    Dolly (Susan Sarandon), Ray’s liberal, larger-than-life bohemian, lesbian grandmother is having a hard time accepting that she now has a grandson. Feeling his future slipping away, Ray decides it’s time to make something happen and takes matters into his own hands.

    They must each confront their own identities and learn to embrace change and their strength as a family in order to ultimately find acceptance and understanding.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
