And the Cotner-White documentary attests this through a powerful emotional account of the journey that took the fight for marriage equality all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Case Against 8\u2019 takes a riveting inside look at the groundbreaking Supreme Court case that overturned Proposition 8, California&#8217;s ban on same-sex marriage.\u00a0Ben Cotner and Ryan White provide a resourceful and authentic snapshot of what it took to accomplish this. The high-profile trial first made headlines with the unlikely pairing of Ted Olson and David Boies, political foes who last faced off as opposing attorneys in Bush vs. Gore. But as well as the lawyers\u2019 work, the movie also follows the plaintiffs, two gay couples who find their families at the centre of the same-sex marriage controversy. Five years in the making, this is the story of how they took the first federal marriage equality lawsuit to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>The exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Kris Perry, Sandy Stier, Paul Katami, Jeff Zarrillo and the powerhouse legal team will move audiences without any hint of melodrama whatsoever. There is no attempt to portray homosexual couples as victims of a witch-hunt. But the facts show how for many years two consolidated couples of homosexuals wanted to be legally united and the law wouldn\u2019t allow them. Kris Perry and Sandy Stier have a family, they raised four sons together in the course of a life-time, whereas Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo\u2019s respectful and loving relationship proves to be more solid than many professed by those heterosexuals who marry and divorce over and over again. These four gay individuals committed to their loved ones and deserved to have a legal acknowledgement as any other couple that believes in the values of marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The journey was long but successful. The number 8 (of the Proposition), pertinently evokes the lemniscate (the infinity symbol), since the case against the California ban on same-sex marriage seems never ending. But since number 8 in certain cultures is considered lucky, it definitely will prove to be propitious.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story: A<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Overall: A-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Case Against 8\u2019 will be released in select New York and Los Angeles theatres on Friday, June 6th, expanding to select cities on June 13.
