The Freedom to Marry (2016)

The Freedom to Marry (2016). The Freedom to Marry: Directed by Eddie Rosenstein. With Evan Wolfson, Mary Bonauto, April DeBoer, Noel Freeman. Over the last four decades, the concept of same-sex couples marrying went from a 'preposterous notion' to the national law. The Freedom to Marry movement is now known as one of the most successful civil rights campaigns in the modern history, but change did not arrive by happenstance. This victory was carefully planned and orchestrated over decades. THE FREEDOM TO MARRY, a new documentary film, offers the untold, inside story of this historic movement. This is a riveting ride alongside Evan Wolfson and Mary Bonauto, the architect and the main litigator of the movement, and their key colleagues from earliest days of their journey to their final frenetic dash to the US Supreme Court.

“I felt like I was standing there beside the freedom to marry activists, meeting, organizing, marching, crying, cheering. A very personal, insider reveal about making positive change. Wonderfully sad and happy moments and a blueprint for bringing people around to see what equality means to the disenfranchised.”
