About the Film:
Commitment features David Wilson and Rob Compton, who had the first church-sanctioned, state-sanctioned same-sex wedding in Massachusetts and the United States and the reverend, Rev. Kim Crawford-Harvie, who married them at the Arlington Street Church in Boston, MA. Jon Andersen-Miller, Yi Zheng, Marc Willems, Mary Leno, and Chris Cobb share their perspectives on the generational shifts in the fight for racial, economic, and political equality for LGBTQ+ identifying people and what needs to be done next to achieve justice and freedom for all.
