LOVE FREE OR DIE (82MIN, USA, UNITED KINGDOM)
DIRECTOR: MACKY ALSTON
CHICAGO PREMIERE
LOVE FREE OR DIE is about a man whose two defining passions are in direct conflict: his love for God and his partner Mark. Gene Robinson is the first openly gay person to become a bishop in the historical traditions of Christendom. 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. LOVE FREE OR DIE follows Robinson from small-town churches in the New Hampshire North County to Washington's Lincoln Memorial to London's Lambeth Palace, as he calls for all to stand for equality--inspiring bishops, priests and ordinary folk to come out from the shadows and change history.
