Their site says:

"HEART of the BEHOLDER has won more Best Feature Film Awards than any other independent movie ever.

Distributors agree that it is a quality film with superb acting, a riveting story, and production values much higher than our actual budget. But those same distributors complain that our movie is too controversial to pick up for distribution.

It took us 12 years to make our passion project and we want it to be seen. We have serialized our movie into short clips to make it easy to watch."

Some claim it's not being shown because it's about standing up to religious fundamentalists, others say it's because it was created by atheists.

IMDb gives it a 7.3

You can watch clips here (I think this is actually the whole movie, but I haven't seen it all yet): http://www.beholder.com/WebTheater/PlayMovie/play_movie.aspx.3

I don't need to get sick to get behind as I'm soooo busy! But unfortunately I had a migraine on Sat. which wouldn't allow me to look at anything bright like a computer screen and now I have a sore throat which is definately a cold (probably from substitute teaching). Our minister's book is expected out at the end of the week - this is the book we're acknowledged in and our anti-racism work is written about & we're in a video, too, but it's not on the web yet. (Note: you might also be interested in this article about a situation my former minister is in - you'll need to log in - see this site for one for projo.com)
