N2  - This intensely personal film documents lesbian videomaker Pam Walton's attempt to reconcile with her long estranged father. It is also her search for what "family" means to her. After her mother's death and her father's remarriage, her father Rus Walton broke off ties with his daughters. He evolved into a right wing fundamentalist and a "family values" activist. In his writing he considered invoking the death penalty for practicing homosexuals. Although Pam surrounded herself with a new lesbian family of nurturing and supportive friends, she yearned for her blood ties. Despite the emotional cost, she made repeated attempts to connect with him. This emotional saga is a journey through uncharted "family" terrain, evoking suspense, pain and wisdom. Told in the form of a video diary, Family Values shows how the longing for parental acceptance can never be extinguished.
