Instinct Magazine reports on a new movie from New Zealand's Dianna Fuemana and Paul Oremland, who also directed the feature. Called "Mysterious Ways" the film considers the struggle for marriage equality in some religious denominations. Oremland revealed the inspiration behind making the film, stating in a web interview: “[…] I was brought up in a fundamentalist church and I just see from personal experience the harm and the pain that so many young and older Christian and not just Christian, but religious, gay people who want to have faith struggle with […]” “And so, I wanted to make a film that explored this, but didn’t just attack the church because I just felt for me, it’s about love. And I think when the church works well, it provides community.”
