Leonardo is a blind teenager searching for independence. Bobby was also gay. NOMINATED FOR TWO 2009 PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS (Outstanding made for Television Movie; Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie - Sigourney Weaver), as well as the 2010 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD (Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television - Sigourney Weaver) and the 2010 SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARD (Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries - Sigourney Weaver), Prayers for Bobby is the amazing true story of a mother torn between her loyalties, challenged by her faith, and moved by a tragedy that would change her life, and the lives of others, forever. Anguished over Bobby's death, Mary finds little solace in her son's poignant diaries, revelations of a troubled boy fighting for the love of his mother and God. As Mary came closer to the realization that Bobby could not be "healed," she rejected him, denying him a mother's unconditional love, and driving her favorite son to suicide. A close friendship between two crew teammates is tested when one slowly discovers he's gay and attracted to the other. He's afraid to inform his conservative parents that he is gay.
