Illegal Love background

Illegal Love

A documentary filmmaker's trip to the US in 2008 to chronicle Barack Obama's groundbreaking presidential campaign unexpectedly leads her to a new and disturbing discovery affecting a marginalized community in California.

French filmmaker Julie Gali traveled to the US in 2008 to film Barack Obama's election, but soon became aware of a threat to another minority's rights. In California, Proposition 8 was passed, marking the only time in US history a civil right was taken away after being granted. This led Gali to immerse herself in the growing grassroots struggle of the gay community, culminating in the October 11, 2009 March for Equality in Washington DC.
