Product Description

The revealing HBO Documentary Film, The Case Against 8, takes an in-depth look at the movement to overturn Prop 8 and at the historic federal lawsuit filed to challenge its constitutionality. The film chronicles a five-year struggle for marriage equality that changed history and the landmark case that paved the way for marriage equality battles nationwide. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to both the powerhouse and unlikely legal team (David Boies and Ted Olson) and the four plaintiffs in the suit, filmmakers Ben Cotner and Ryan White have created the definitive account of the battle that effectively ended marriage discrimination in California. The Case Against 8 was the winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival Directing Award in the U.S. Documentary category and the SXSW Audience Award in the Festival Favorites category.

This movie is so well done that I use it when teaching documentaries. The editing is masterful and creates suspense from a story that we think know. There is also a wonderful cast of characters. Must see TV!

well made. story well written and edited. lovely music. brought to the light the importance of the constitution and all that it takes to preserve it so that people are not discriminated against and religion doesn't rule the USA. the joining of "opposing" sides, and the intelligence of everyone who fought this battle, shows us what united together can produce.

Loved watching this, completely fascinated by it and watched it right from start to finish. If anyone likes history and has a particular interest in LGBT History then this is the film for you. It was very awe inspiring to see what can happen when everyone gets behind a movement and campaigns for change. I felt moved to try and enact change myself after seeing this.

Definitely one to buy and would happily recommend to anyone!
