Documentary on Phelps opens Friday in KCK
A student at the University of Kansas is releasing a documentary this week on Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kan.

The film is called "Fall From Grace."

KMBC's Jim Flink reported that Jones was allowed free access into the church, including its services.

"It is just chock-full of rage and anger and hatred. It's almost too much to handle. I felt sick the rest of the day, physically drained, and ill having to listen of all of it," Jones said.

"Fall From Grace" premieres Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Screenland Granada Theater in Kansas City, Kan. It is being sponsored by the Film Society of Greater Kansas City. An $8 donation is requested.

3. Gross.

Being a gay person, and having seen these people, and knowing a great deal about them I can say that I have no desire to see this. I have no desire to give them tv time, movie time, air time, to even talk about them at the table or any other place. These people don't need documentaries made about them, they need to be forgotten while we continually remember people like Matthew Shepard.

Their repulsive people, the movie gives them exactly what they want which is publicity and as such it is repulsive. Disgusting.

Now let us continue to pray that during the our states next tornado a house lands on the whole family.
