Church & State

“Church & State” narrates the unlikely journey of a bold, novice gay activist and a small law firm in Salt Lake City as they unite to challenge Utah’s ban on gay marriage. The film explores the tumultuous path toward equality in Utah, shedding light on the Mormon church’s sway over state politics and the internal conflicts within the gay community that almost thwarted a historic opportunity. This is a tale of victory, obstacles, and an obscure lawsuit that defied expectations, ultimately contributing to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage across the country.
