Rent The Mission (2009)

A startlingly effective and provocative drama, The Mission is about more than a father's battle to overcome his homophobia, it's also a powerful story of the redemptive power of love. Jessie hasn't had the easiest of lives, having to deal with the loss of his mother whilst trying to carve out a life as a gay man in New York's infamously volatile 'barrio' district. But things are about to get a lot harder when his homophobic father, Che (Benjamin Bratt) gets released from prison. Initially reacting to Jessie's revelation with violence and fear, Che is soon forced to choose between his old sense of pride and his love for the only thing that really means anything to him in this world - his son.
