Movie Haiku:Terrific doc unravels the full range of African American responses to the 2012 campaign for Marriage Equality in Maryland. Focus is on local activists personally campaigning Pro & Con. Altho funding by White Catholic & Mormon churches is in the background, Black Pastors are in the foreground. Makes an excellent domestic counterpart to GOD LOVES UGANDA.
