A Case For Love - Free Movie Screening and Director Q&A

Inspired by the teachings of Bishop Michael Curry, A Case for Love is a powerful feature-length documentary exploring whether unselfish love can help heal the deep societal and political divisions of our time. Traveling across the United States, the filmmakers share the real stories of individuals living selflessly—and the profound impact they have on their communities and beyond. The film features insights from public figures such as Pete Buttigieg, Al Roker, and Jon Meacham, alongside candid conversations with everyday people about where they’ve experienced—or missed—the transformative power of love. Bishop Curry frames these stories within a broader spiritual and moral context, inviting viewers to reflect on how love can bridge even our deepest divides, touching on themes like racial justice, foster care, disability advocacy, and more.

Join us for a free public screening at Varsity Cinema (1207 25th Street, Des Moines) at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Following the film, stay for a special Q&A session with director Brian Ide.
