In Same Sex America director Henry Corra has documented the story of the legal battle to secure permanent equal rights status for gays and lesbians to form legally binding marriage contracts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He fleshes out some of the social, ethical and emotional dynamics by profiling seven lesbian and gay couples and a couple of anti-gay marriage activists from the Christian right. The documentary film is informative and nuanced, and ends up being both a record of the time and an active agent seeking to create historical change. – IMDb
