Bonds of Love (1993)
Based on a true story
I met Treat while he was studying the subject of this movie. My parents worked in a group home for mentally ill and mentally retarded adults. (Preferred nomenclature for the time). This was based on one of the residents at the facility. I only watched this when I was 12 so I may be biased from the starstruck feeling I had. This was a good movie to me since I knew the story firsthand. It was a bit exaggerated but still stuck close to the story of his life. The thing I remember most was a time on our front porch. Terry chewed tobacco and Treat stated that he had never tried it. Terry handed him a can of Skoal told him how much to put in. Treat put a proper amount in his lower lip, and then almost gagged when it came time to spit. Terry had a good laugh at it and so did Treat and all of the kids hanging around.
