Alabama Bound

The courageous story of lesbian couples struggling to thrive in Alabama is poignantly portrayed in this moving documentary about the slow, but steady progress of LGBTQ rights. Directors Lara Embry and Carolyn Shere, both Alabama natives, also skillfully spotlight Representative Patricia Todd, the state's only openly gay legislator. Todd has been on the frontlines, fighting some of the state's heaviest battles facing LGBTQ Alabamians. Alabama Bound is one of the all-time most riveting and heartfelt documentaries regarding queer life in the South. (Sidewalk Film Festival)
