Film Review: Prodigal Sons
Compelling documentary featuring a remarkably appealing transsexual high-school star quarterback and her adopted, brain-damaged brother who learns he's the grandson of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth.

Yes, there's all the noise—thanks to many festival awards and media attention—about this documentary and its subject who learns he's the grandson of Hollywood royalty. But filmmaker Kimberly Reed—evolving from high-school jock to lovely, appealing female—also emerges a star.

Prodigal Sons is a unique journey into deepest Montana and deep family secrets as Reed (née McKerrow) leads this adventure/investigation into the story of her sibling—adopted brother Marc McKerrow especially and, more as a pro-forma gesture, biological younger brother Todd McKerrow (an architect living in San Diego).
