    Storyline

    Edit
    The Falls is a feature film about two missionaries that fall in love while on their mission. RJ travels to a small town in Oregon with Elder Merrill to serve their mission and teach the words of Joseph Smith. Living together and sharing the challenge of leaving home, the two men help each other discover their strengths. They share a passion for their faith and learn to express their feelings, risking the only community they have for a forbidden intimacy. —Anonymous

      Elder Chris Merrill (portrayed by Benjamin Farmer (as Ben Farmer)) is from Salt Lake City. Clackamas Falls, Oregon is where he is doing his Missionary work.

      Although the letter from Chris to RJ shows Chris Merrill's name spelled with two "L's", the credits show his name spelled as Elder Merril, with just one "L".

    A truly wonderful love story for all to see...
    The Falls explores the Mormon Faith and it's relationship to gay love when two male missionaries develop feelings for one another.

    The depth of research and the excellent acting by everyone involved makes this movie a "must buy" DVD.

    The dialog was real for what is a very sensitive topic. I hope that people of the Mormon faith can see that special care and respect was taken towards their religion. However, the movie does point out the unnecessary conflict LGBT Mormons must go through.

    Jon Garcia is an amazing talented director and I look forward to seeing more of his work in the future.
