His mom is there on her unexpected deathbed. She dies right in front of him. Then we are treated to a montage of single-father shots...the dad cooking dinner for the kids, the dad getting the kids ready...in all of them the mom is conspicuously absent.

At this point in the film, everyone in the audience is always crying. At the very end of the filmstrip, there is an announcement that everything is ok because Families are Forever. The filmstrip ends and we would tell everyone that they were crying because they felt the Spirit....even though for the 12 or so minutes of filmstrip, the only gospel message was presented in the final minute or so, well after everyone was already crying.

I think missionaries have since stopped using that filmstrip.

Is that where they start playing I will build you a rainbow?
