From the Academy Award-nominated writer of “Philadelphia” comes “Freeheld”, starring Oscar-winner Julianne Moore, Oscar-nominees Ellen Page and Michael Shannon and Steve Carell.
Based on the Oscar-winning short documentary, “Freeheld” is the true love story of Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore) and Stacie Andree (Ellen Page) and their fight for justice.
A decorated New Jersey detective, Laurel is diagnosed with cancer and wants to leave her hard-earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie. However, the county officials, Freeholders, conspire to prevent Laurel from doing this.
Hard-nosed detective Dane Wells (Michael Shannon) and activist Steven Goldstein (Steve Carell, unite in Laurel and Stacie’s defense, rallying police officers and ordinary citizens to support their struggle for equality.
“Julianne Moore and Ellen Page are at the top of their game,” raves Tony Toscano from ABC-TV.
“Inspiring! Uplifting! A true story of courage!” says Dave Morales from FOX-TV.
“An extraordinary story anchored by a pair of tremendous performances,” says Steve Prokopy from Ain’t It Cool News.
