A celebration of both tradition and change, Naming Prairie documents a joyous melding of new and old faces of American family. Friends and relatives join together to celebrate in a lesbian couple's Jewish babynaming ceremony for their daughter, Prairie. In the meantime, they demonstrate how the most ancient of institutions -- the family, Judaism -- can adapt to accommodate contemporary life. The video provides a loving and clear introduction to one of our society's more difficult issues: how do race, religion and sexuality factor into the families we make?
