內容大綱: 不論在台灣,美國,或歐洲,同性婚姻都已經成為關於基本人權的全球議題,不過,美國的立法決譯往往成為其他的國家的參考標準。 本片經五年拍攝,記錄美國第一起告上最高法院的聯邦婚姻平等權訴訟案,以及兩對願意公開爭取自己婚姻權的同性伴侶的故事。具體而言,他們希望推翻加州法律的「第8號提案」。在這場訴訟中,他們被指派了最糟的律師人選-泰德.奧森,即2000年美國總統大選中,代表小布希與高爾對抗的保守派律師。這案件不但重要且真實,也因這種不可能的夥伴關係,增添豐富懸疑性。 Whether in Taiwan, the US or Europe, same-sex marriage is becoming a global issue of basic human rights. Yet legal decisions in the US often set a standard for the rest of the world. Five years in the making, this film is the story of the first federal marriage equality lawsuit to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the two couples who were willing to publicly fight for their right to marriage. Specifically, the gay couples were looking to overturn a California law known as Proposition 8. In this fight, they had the unlikeliest of lawyers in Ted Olson, a conservative who represented George W. Bush against Al Gore for the US presidency in 2000. This improbable partnership makes for a story that is as rich and suspenseful as it is important and true. |
