Synopsis
In a provocative exploration of one of the most contentious social issues of our time, this documentary confronts the emotional and human aspects of the same-sex marriage debate. With a unique lens that captures the perspectives of a progressive Catholic archbishop advocating for marriage equality, alongside the stark opposition from members of the Westboro Baptist Church, the film intricately weaves together contrasting narratives that challenge viewers to rethink their beliefs. The inclusion of high-profile politicians and a former lesbian who attempts to convert homosexuals adds layers of complexity to the discourse, making it not just a film about rights, but also about identity and personal transformation. The heart of the documentary lies in the poignant stories of two survivors of 9/11 victims, who poignantly reveal the harsh realities faced by same-sex couples denied essential marital benefits. This film doesn’t shy away from the pain and struggle inherent in the fight for equality; rather, it embraces the raw humanity that fuels passionate activism. Through its compelling storytelling and diverse perspectives, this documentary promises to be a thought-provoking experience that resonates deeply, urging viewers to engage with the realities of love, loss, and the ongoing quest for justice in the name of matrimony.
