Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" Honored at the 67th annual Christopher Awards,
Country music icon Dolly Parton, silver screen legend Sylvester Stallone, and popular comedian Jim Gaffigan are just a few of the creative forces behind the 21 feature films, TV/Cable programs, and books for adults and young people that will be honored at the 67th annual Christopher Awards, to be presented in New York City on May 19, 2016.
The Christopher Awards were created in 1949 to celebrate writers, producers, directors, authors and illustrators whose work "affirms the highest values of the human spirit."
Tony Rossi, The Christophers' Director of Communications, says, "The world around us can seem like a dark place in light of all the violence and hatred we hear about in the news. But the stories we honor with Christopher Awards remind us that we can shine a light that illuminates the darkness by choosing to practice faith, love, compassion, courage, teamwork, and determination."
Dolly Parton, executive producer of the TV/Cable winner "Coat of Many Colors," said, "I love the Christopher Award slogan, 'Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.' I personally believe that with all my heart. I think the movie, 'Coat of Many Colors,' a true story from my childhood, does throw a light on a lot of things like family, hope, love, kindness, understanding, and acceptance. It really spoke to the issue of bullying. I am very proud at how God works through me to shine a light, and to help heal a lot of hurt in a lot of people, and I am very proud of this award."
"Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors" (NBC) brings the legendary entertainer's classic song to life in a story that addresses working through grief, bullying, and the riches beyond money that are found in a loving home.
