Rob Reiner talks about this exclusive event:
Why "8"
Uncover the truth about marriage for gay and lesbian Americans. "8"—a new play by Academy-award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar)—demystifies the debate around marriage equality by chronicling the landmark trial of Perry v. Schwarzenegger. Learn about the historical context of marriage from expert testimony. See the human cost of discrimination. Uncover the arguments used to justify bans on marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Using the actual court transcripts from the landmark federal trial of California's Prop. 8 and first-hand interviews, "8" shows both sides of the debate in a moving 90-minute play.
Watch the long version (4:27) of the trailer here:
I'm really looking forward to this and love the fact they are making this available to the world since the proponents were so dead set against letting cameras film the trial and for the trial videos to be released.
If anyone is interested in joining a Google+ hangout (group video chat) watch party let me know in the comments and I'll give you the information.
