The Goodman Family toured the world from the 1990s-early 2000s, performing at UN conferences and privately for Pope John Paul II, in hopes of being "a voice for the family" worldwide.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050206205856/http://goodmanfamily.org/goals.html Old official website, captured through Wayback machine.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref><ref>[http://qconline.com/archives/adl/display.php?id=108907&query=events Article talking about Q-C Family Week, which the Goodmans performed at.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref><ref>[http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news/articles/PopeFamily04042005-CR.html Article by the Goodmans about The Pope after his death, Apr. 4, 2005.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref> ==History== On Sunday, December 8th, 1996, father Steve Goodman and five of his children were in a car accident that resulted in the death of sons David (age 12) and Peter (age 11) and daughter LeAnne (age 10).<ref>[http://www.deseretnews.com/article/529960/DEATH-DAVID-PETER-AND-LEANNE-GOODMAN.html?pg=all Article about the Goodman Family accident from Dec. 11 1996.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref><ref>[http://universe.byu.edu/1996/12/11/goodman-father-improvingrnnchildren-still-on-life/ Article about the Goodman Family accident, also from Dec. 11 1996.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref> They were buried together on December 14.<ref>[http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=25100012 Findagrave's entry of the three children's grave.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref> Steve, and daughters Aimee and Andrea were on life support and had various complications, but eventually recovered. The family immediately resumed their worldwide touring with a new mission, to speak of their personal experiences rebuilding their family after the devastation of the accident. On December 20th the following year, the story was aired on TV as a musically charged documentary called '''''Fortress of Love''''', hosted by Merrill Osmond and with music by Kenneth Cope. The special was integrated into their subsequent concerts.<ref>[http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19971220&id=plEeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UccEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1195,3232554 Article in the newspaper advertising the special on the day of its broadcast.] Retrieved 16 Aug '14</ref> ==Availability== In addition to airing on TV, the special was also released on VHS, but this tape was incredibly hard to come by, as were the out-of-print soundtrack CDs. A DVD release of the special was proven to exist, but it also had no listings available and seemed to be even more obscure than the VHS. Though a [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6BB2E00D141209DA copy of the last live performance of the concert] was available on YouTube, along with 15 minutes of the VHS copy, the special did not resurface in its entirety for quite some time. However, on August 14th, 2014, a DVD copy of the movie was finally located by user [[User:HomeStarRunnerTron|HomeStarRunnerTron]] and was uploaded in its entirety.
