Coming to PBS’s Independent Lens tonight, Monday, June 15: LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Thomas G Miller’s look at a longstanding fight for marriage equality debuted at last year’s Los Angeles Film Festival. Other fest screenings included DOC NYC, Aspen, Tallgrass, Woodstock, Antenna Doc, Hawaii, Denver, Cleveland, Palm Springs, Sheffield, Frameline, Outfest, and LGBT fests in Austin, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Atlanta, Seattle, Brazil, Toronto, and Melbourne.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC, saying:
American Richard Adams married Australian Tony Sullivan in Boulder, Colorado in 1975, during a brief period when same-sex marriage was legal in that state, and subsequently filed for a green card for Tony. After receiving an explicitly homophobic denial and an order for deportation, the couple filed the first federal lawsuit seeking equality in transnational LGBT marriage immigration cases. Thomas G. Miller’s film is a poignant portrait of a couple’s four decades of devotion despite overwhelming odds.
