Does a Woman Have the Right to Be a Priest? Who Decides? Find Out at the Los Angeles Premiere of CREATED EQUAL on Jan. 8
LOS ANGELES, December 27, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Vision Films and T-CAT Films are proud to announce the Los Angeles Premiere of the award-winning, sociopolitical drama, Created Equal. Directed by Bill Duke (Sister Act 2), the thought-provoking film about faith and the current state of the world in regard to equality, representation, and inclusion has already enjoyed a successful film festival season and screened to a sold-out crowd in New Orleans.
Starring Aaron Tveit (Les Miserables, Grease Live!), Edy Ganem (Devious Maids, Like Crazy), Lou Diamond Phillips (Longmire, Young Guns), Gregory Alan Williams (Hidden Figures, Greenleaf) and Yohance Myles (2 Guns, This Is The End), Created Equal is based on the novel by Roger A. Brown, which offers a voyeuristic view of the stained-glass ceiling that exists for women in the Catholic Church and other religious and non-religious organizations around the world.
The much-anticipated film will premiere on Jan. 8 at Pacific Theatres at The Grove with the red carpet to commence at 6 p.m. and screening at 7:30 p.m. In attendance will be director Bill Duke, producer Thada Catalon and actors Aaron Tveit, Edy Ganem and Lou Diamond Phillips, who will also participate in a Q&A following the film.
Created Equal follows the story of Thomas “Tommy” Reilly (Aaron Tveit), a cocky, up-and-coming attorney, who begrudgingly takes on a case for Sister Alejandra “Allie” Batista (Edy Ganem), who’s desperate to become a priest in the Catholic Church. Against his supervisor’s wishes, Tommy files suit against the Archdiocese of New Orleans for sex discrimination without justifiable cause. As the trial unfolds, an extremist concocts a plot to stop the heresy against the church. Tommy’s faith and convictions are tested, and as he’s challenged to question his purpose, he begins the transformation from a sexist, arrogant person to one who is committed to a mission larger than his own self-interests.
