At Montrose Center Saturday, July 23, a free screening of Freedom to Marry. Directed by Eddie Rosenstein.

Over the last four decades, same-sex marriage has gone from a ‘preposterous notion’ to one of the most successful civil rights campaigns in the world.

THE FREEDOM TO MARRY is a “War Room” style feature documentary about the same-sex marriage movement, from the final frenetic months of the legal and grassroots campaign.
