“The Case Against 8 shows four people rising above a law that sought to lower them into second-class citizenship. It’s an inspirational film about a powerful victory.”
– Henry Barnes (The Guardian)
Oxford Brookes Documentary Club is proud to present ‘The Case Against 8’. This is the next documentary in this new semester of free weekly screenings, held at Oxford Brookes University every Thursday at 7pm in the John Henry Brookes Lecture Theatre.
Ben Cotner and Ryan White’s 2014 film ‘The Case Against 8’ documents the extensive legal fight to overturn California’s Proposition 8, an amendment that would have eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry.
This is an extremely important documentary and one that has been rewarded with award success. Among their many accolades, Cotner and White have won the Audience Award at SXSW festival, Best LGBT Film at Nashville Film Festival and the Directing Award at Sundance.
For this week’s screening we are also in collaboration with ‘LGBT History Month Festival’, you can find out more here:
