THE CAMPAIGN Premieres at Creating Change

JOIN US for this exciting screening and learn how you can use THE CAMPAIGN to EDUCATE voters, to INSPIRE volunteers, to CONNECT communities in LOCAL SCREENINGS, CLASSROOMS, and during our PUBLIC TV BROADCAST in June 2014. Funded by ITVS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, directed by award-winning filmmaker Christie Herring and produced by Herring and Academy Award nominated producer Marc Smolowitz, The Campaign takes a heartbreaking and inspiring look at California’s No-on-8 Campaign to defend same-sex marriage and covers the surprising history of relationship recognition in the United States. Through an intimate ensemble approach, The Campaign unfolds as a human drama that follows five ordinary people compelled by a passionate belief in equality. Early on, we meet Holli, Claudia, Richard, Anne, Hannah, and Alison -- an unstoppable group of activists, volunteers and campaign workers whose stories are the heart of the film. Their collective experiences provide a window into a timeless story -- what inspires everyday people to opt in for something bigger than themselves -- win or lose. The story of Proposition 8 is placed inside a larger 60-year national story that explores the push for recognition of same-sex relationships since the 1950s. Lushly edited archival sections bring together rare and unseen footage of queer life with seminal broadcast clips and political ads that help put a human face on the marriage debate over time. -- LIKE US on FACEBOOK at https://www.facebook.com/TheCampaignDocumentary -- FOLLOW US on TWITTER at http://twitter.com/campaigndoc
