Thanks for sharing such a powerful piece. Not only great viewing but would work really well in classrooms. EJ Bonilla is a strong talent and look forward to seeing his career progress.

I enjoyed it very much and feel as though it could be the basis for some great, and very enlightening, discussion among young folks in particular.

Thanks for sharing Jamey!

Wow, that was pretty raw. Great short film piece! I don't think I ever saw EJB on GL. I left shortly after they moved to suburban Jersey...where things go to die...lol(just kidding).

In my opinion, during his time on GL he was one of the worst actors I have seen. I was not a fan of his but I'm glad he found work after the soap.

Can anyone tell me how to view this outside of the U.S.? I'm in Canada and the film is blocked. Thanks.

Ok- so some of the acting in this is left to be desired- but surprisingly not Bonilla. Good over all.
