The documentary "Pursuit of Equality" is a thought-provoking film that explores the topic of civil liberties and discrimination in the context of same-sex marriage. The film was inspired by Mayor Newsom's request to capture the first same-sex marriage in America and subsequent behind-the-scenes access to the "chamber tapes" of Mayor Newsom and his senior staff. The documentary follows the journey of same-sex couples, families, and courts, as well as the protests and state Supreme Court's decision to invalidate marriage licenses. With Governor Schwarzenegger's veto of legislation to give same-sex partners the right to marry, the film aims to educate and open minds to the importance of equality for all.
