FREE SCREENING! It’s Family Day @ PILGFF!

For years, Rosie and Kelli O’Donnell, parents of four, dreamed of a society free of discrimination. In 2004, they made that dream come true when 1,500 people - gay, lesbian and straight - set sail on a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean. With a bold stroke only Rosie O’Donnell could make, a joyous new community was born in this judgment-free setting, as passengers celebrated their freedom and made a positive, progressive statement about what ‘family’ means today. It was in 2002 when Rosie, Kelli and their friend Gregg Kaminsky (a travel-industry executive) were discussing the possibility of creating vacation packages for the gay and lesbian community. According to Rosie, Kaminsky said, half-seriously, ‘Why don’t we rent a cruise ship?’ From this conversation emerged what Rosie dubbed ‘the first gay cruise with family values,’ organized by Kelli and Gregg’s ‘R Family’ agency and held onboard the chartered cruise ship Norwegian Dawn.

In addition to providing viewers with the sights and sounds of the precedent-setting cruise, All Aboard! Rosie’s Family Cruise includes profiles of many of the guests: an older gay couple facing an empty nest once their teenaged daughter goes to college; a lesbian couple looking for a possible sperm donor among their shipmates; a gay couple who have adopted five children (two sets of biological siblings); and one time-NFL star Esera Tuaolo, who was in the closet as a player but made headlines when he came out after retiring, and is now a role model in the gay community as well as the proud father of twins. A lesbian and gay community at sea, this engaging and delightful documentary takes us all on a voyage to a place free of prejudice where progressive attitudes about ‘family’ are truly set sail.
