SUMMARY:Spotlight on: To a More Perfect Union: US v Windsor
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight on Donna Zaccaro’s To A More Perfect Union: US v Windsor\, a chronicle of unlikely heroes\, octogenarian Edie Windsor and her attorney\, Roberta Kaplan\, on their quest for justice. Upon the death of her spouse\, Edie was forced to pay a huge estate tax because the federal government denied federal benefits to same-sex couples – and Edie’s spouse was a woman. Deeply offended by this lack of recognition of her more than forty-year relationship with the love of her life\, Edie decided to sue the United States government — and won. Beyond the story of this pivotal case in the marriage equality movement and the stories behind it\, the film also tells the story of our journey as a people\, as a culture\, and as citizens with equal rights. \nFollowing the screening\, there will be a Q&A with Donna Zaccaro. NOTE: Anthology Film Archives is a 100 year old building and the theater is up a flight of stairs. \nDocumentary Film | 2017 | United States | 63 mins | English | NYC Premiere\nDirected By Donna Zaccaro\nProduced By Donna Zaccaro\,  Paula Heredia
