Instigating discussion about what limits the government can put on marriage, this provocative documentary examines the marriage and historic Supreme Court case of Richard and Mildred Loving.
He was a white man, she was a black woman, in a time (the 1960s) when marriage between those races was illegal. This poetic narrative interweaves interviews, photographs, and archival footage to depict the young couple’s struggle for dignity and quest for social justice. Warning: contains racial slurs. Directed by Nancy Buirski.
