Reviews of Pursuit of Equality
"Pursuit of Equality presents a delicate balance of light humor and
tear-jerking poignancy….really powerful.”
- The Advocate
“A must-see documentary for anyone interested in marriage equalityand the
larger issue of civil rights in America today.”
- Karen Ocamb, IN Los Angeles
“What is perhaps most remarkable about the film – and will doubtlessly titillate local
political junkies – is the access the filmmakers had to the mayor during the height
of the same sex marriage frenzy and in the fraught months that followed.”
- Rona Marech, San Francisco Chronicle
“…a moving document that put a human face on committed gay and lesbiancouples who
sought – and are still seeking – equal treatment under the laws of
the state and nation.”
-Kinsey Lowe, LA TIMES
“At turns romantic and sobering, Pursuit of Equality makes the
eyes tear up and the blood boil.”
- Critic’s Pick, SF Station
“A must-see even for its subject matter alone, Pursuit exposes the absurdity of
discrimination with its intensely personal, moment-by-moment coverage.”
- San Francisco Bay Guardian
“Straight San Francisco didn’t realize there was a revolution going on
until we saw people lined up in the rain around City Hall.”
- Chris Nolan, Politics Left to Right
“...this inspiring…remarkable film chronicles every step of the way as Newsom decides
he will issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, sparking a firestorm of protest as well as a massive show of support from a divided public, in a story that is far from over. The film
serves not only as an important civil rights document, but functions as a call to arms for
anyone with even the slightest sense of fairness to speak out against the wave of
anti-gay discrimination that seems to be sweeping the country.”
– Jonny Leahan, indieWIRE.com
“Near-limitless access to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s office –makes “Pursuit of Equality” a valuable behind-the-scenes chronicle of what may become a seminal U.S. historical moment.”– Dennis Harvey, VARIETY.com
“… thoroughly engaging!”
– Palm Springs INT’L Film Festival
“Pursuit of Equality is not only deeply moving, inspiring, and fascinating,
but it is a great film and a stirring call to arms!”
– Richard Watts
"...required viewing for all Americans."
– Trenton Straube, NY BLADE
