25th Connecticut Gay & Lesbian Film Festival: Love Free or Die, How the Bishop of New Hampshire is Changing the World
Location: Cinestudio
(Dir. Macky Alston, 2012, USA, 82 min)
Premiering at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this documentary explores the personal journey of Gene Robinson, whose ordination as the first openly gay Episcopal bishop rocked the Anglican Church. His consecration in 2003, to which he wore a bullet-proof vest, caused an international stir, and he has lived with death threats every day since. Robinson set a precedent in New Hampshire state politics, and continues to bring a powerful voice to the demand of LGBT people for full acceptance in their faith communities and in the world.
