Jenn Gotzon and John Schneider Ask Who is Sam Doonby?

Actress Jenn Gotzon, whose breakthrough was in the film "Frost/Nixon" portraying the president's daughter, Tricia Nixon, is in Washington, D.C., this week screening the movie "Doonby." The screenings of the mystery film with an underlying message about life's choices are intentionally timed to coincide with the March for Life and the 40th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade case.

Gotzon explains:
 "Doonby is a psychological mystery thriller that has a touch of romance, which is where my character and John Schneider's character come in. It's a story about this man that no one knows who mysteriously appears in a small town in Texas. He starts to change the lives of those around him in a positive way. Due to conflict of life, with things like jealousy and suspicion and all these interesting human things that we deal with, the circumstances of this beautiful human being named Sam Doonby, played by John Schneider, life turns up on its head. The audience is left to figure out, "Who is Sam Doonby?"

 It's a mystery and in the climax of the movie this beautiful mystery is revealed. It's a story that really impacts and has a proactive message to it that can really challenge all audiences on their beliefs and becoming aware of the choices they make in life and how they may impact another human being."
