Loving John 2025

In this quirky film about death and dying, John Godinet, an irrepressible Pacific Islander and ultra-runner, is living with his husband Peter in rural Maryland. He’s outrun abuse and discrimination, but now he has a new adversary: ALS. Fortunately, John has a survival strategy of humor and hilarity that has served him all his life. While life is a ticking clock, and nothing is ever simple, what matters most, ultimately, is the humanity that unites us all.
