It won the documentary audience award at AIFF and it's an HBO documentary so, not exactly "independent." I might argue that the Aaron Swartz documentary deserved it more.
Not that this film isn't excellent. It's exactly what you'd expect from an HBO documentary about the supreme court fight against California's Proposition 8 and it's thrilling to meet all the players, especially the two couples chosen as plaintiffs in the case. The lawyers are fascinating too, and I was surprised to learn a major detail about them that I won't spoil here. There isn't much suspense since we go in knowing the outcome, but it's still great be witness to the four-year process.
