The film is from filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green and the Academy Award-winning writing team behind ‘Brokeback Mountain’ (Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry) and Mark Wahlberg. 

It tells the intimate and emotional true story of an Oregonian father who pays tribute to his gay teenage son Jadin, embarking on a self-reflective walk across America to speak his heart to heartland citizens about the real and terrifying costs of bullying.

‘Joe Bell’ stars Mark Wahlberg, Reid Miller, Connie Britton and Gary Sinise.

‘Joe Bell’ hits cinemas 7 October.
