Freeheld - Lieutenant Laurel Hester is dying. All she wants to do is leave her pension benefits to her life partner - Stacie, so Stacie can afford to keep their house. Laurel is told no; they are not husband and wife. After spending a lifetime fighting for justice for other people, Laurel - a veteran New Jersey detective - launches a final battle for justice. Knuckle-biting, dramatic Freeheld chronicles a dying policewoman's bitter fight to provide for the love of her life.
Academy Award Winner for Feature Documentary - 106 min.
Taxi to the Dark Side - An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002.
These are our champions for this year. Keep an eye out for screenings. I'm going to try and catch Taxi to the Dark Side at True/False Film Fest next weekend. No reserve tickets left but they have a scam system (just like us.)
