Synopsis
LOVE V. KENTUCKY is an honest account of the struggles and luck involved in taking a civil rights case to the highest court in the United States. Following the unexpected initial success, two Louisville family attorneys find themselves struggling to find support from national civil rights organizations and turn to a larger law firm for expertise. Nothing seems to go as planned when a conservative judge rules unexpectedly, an Attorney General refuses to argue for his State, and third-party organizations intervene with their own amicus briefs. Suddenly Kentucky finds itself alongside three other states in the forefront of a national marriage-equality debate in what ultimately lands them before the U.S. Supreme Court. The journey is not without trial-and-error as each set of attorneys involved have their own agendas. This is story of how laws are overturned.
