Real To Reel: Freeheld
In the Academy Award-winning documentary short, Freeheld, filmmaker Cynthia Wade chronicles Police Lieut. Laurel Hester's tireless, end-of-life journey to ensure that her pension benefits would be extended to her life-partner, Stacie.
On IN THE LIFE, this moving Real to Reel segment, we see what inspired this story of a small New Jersey town rising up to stand beside Laurel and Stacie.
