A feature documentary about the campaign to defeat California’s Proposition 8

THE CAMPAIGN tells the inside story of the fight to stop California’s wildly controversial Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage and ignited a movement. With exclusive access to the state Headquarters of the “No on 8″ campaign in San Francisco, filmmaker Christie Herring captures the essence of this emotional journey. In-depth observational footage and interviews follow stakeholders, from Executive Committee Members to first-time volunteers. THE CAMPAIGN explores fault lines of religion, race and identity at a critical turning point in the push for LGBT rights, offering an intimate portrait of committed individuals inside a pressure cooker, compelled by both circumstance and their passionate beliefs to go far beyond their everyday selves.
