WINNER! Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary, NewFest 2017
Join us for the galvanizing documentary ALABAMA BOUND, which will be followed by a Q&A and reception with changemaking doc subjects, Cari Searcy and Kim McKeand!
Exploring the legal roller-coaster ride of LGBTQ rights in the American South, this award-winning documentary offers an expansive and intimate view into the lives of three same-sex families in Alabamaâincluding the only openly-gay Alabama State Legislator Patricia Toddâas they make waves in the legal system fighting homophobic legislation in a deeply religious state. Set alongside the turning-point years when federal marriage equality was coming to a head in the courts, this riveting and powerful film tactfully imbues the viewer with hope and frustration as Patricia Todd leads the charge in next wave of the LGBTQ fight for equality: legal non-discrimination.
With Alabama state politics making headlines in national press with the defeat of anti-LGBTQ Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is featured prominently as the bible-thumping Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, ALABAMA BOUND couldnât be more timely and urgent.
Don't miss this screening as part of the monthly screening and talkback series, "NewFest at The Center Presents" at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.
