(2006) dir Henry Corra w/Matthew Cummings, Eliza Skinner [89 min; Digital]
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the landmark same-sex mariage ruling in Massachusetts, we’re thrilled to host filmmaker Henry Corra and a screening of his vivid documentary, SAME SEX AMERICA. Corra weaves the stories of seven gay and lesbian couples on their emotional journey to the altar with the dramatic showdown at Massachusetts’ constitutional convention, a vivid demonstration of democracy in action that may change the course of history. The film captures all the nuance of what may be the defining chapter in the history of the gay and lesbian struggle for equal rights.
