WILL-TV presents, "The Smith Family," Tuesday, June 25 at 9pm.  

"The Smith Family" is a searing account of a struggle to perserve family and
faith, while redefining forgiveness in the face of daunting tragedy. With
two boys, a dog, a nice house and a strong commitment to the Mormon Church,
Steve and Kim Smith of Salt Lake City believed they had achieved the
American dream.  But after nine years of marriage, Steve confessed to
infidelities with men.  When they are both HIV positive, Kim makes an
unlikely choice."

I've seen this film and it's not what I expected it to be.  The description
above doesn't begin to describe the challenges and honesty around tough
issues that the film slowly unravels and invites you, as a viewer, to
grapple with. Watch it with someone you love.
