The Campaign takes an inspiring look at the “No on 8” campaign in California to defend same-sex marriage and the history of relationship recognition in the U.S. It is a human drama following ordinary people compelled by a passionate belief in equality. Their stories are placed inside a national context that explores the push for recognition of same-sex relationships since the 1950s. The Campaign provides a window into a timeless question: What inspires everyday people to opt-in for something bigger than themselves?
