an effort to overturn
Prop 8, California's
discriminatory ban on
same-sex marriage.
Shooting over five years,
with exclusive behind-

the powerhouse legal team
of David Boies and Ted
Olson and the four
plaintiffs in the suit,
directors and producers
Ben Cotner and Ryan White
("Good Ol' Freda,"

powerful emotional
account of the journey
that took the fight for
marriage equality all the
way to the U.S. Supreme
Court.



Georgia Relevance
-----------------

On Tuesday, April 22, six
couples and a widow filed
a federal, class action
lawsuit seeking to
overturn Georgia's same-
sex marriage ban which
was ratified as a
constitutional amendment
in 2004. If the
plaintiffs prevail,
Georgia will join 19
states that have
legalized same-sex
marriage.
