HBO Documentary Films and Frameline present the San Francisco premiere of A FAMILY IS A FAMILY IS A FAMILY: A ROSIE O’DONNELL CELEBRATION on Saturday, January 30, 2009 at 3:00PM at the Zeum Children’s Museum Theater in San Francisco.
Several Bay Area families are featured in the kid-friendly documentary, including: Najorae (El Cerrito) who sings an original song, “Love Is the Thing,” with her father; Neil and Cole (El Cerrito) whose mothers get married.

The film debuts on HBO Sunday, January 31 at 7:00pm.
