THE CAMPAIGN tells the inside story of the fight for gay marriage in California and the unsuccessful effort to defeat Proposition 8. With exclusive access to the headquarters of the “No on 8” campaign, this documentary brings together young activists of all sexual orientations, campaign veterans, and leaders from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community. Their stories explore the fault lines of religion, race and identity at a critical turning point in the push for LGBT civil rights. Forty years after Stonewall, the event that launched the modern Gay Rights movement, Prop 8 shocked activists across the nation who expected an easy win in one of the nation’s most progressive states.

Although THE CAMPAIGN tells the heartbreaking story of a lost battle, hope is inspired through the passionate work of the movement. Filmmaker Christie Herring captures the essence of this emotional journey, blending in-depth observational footage with interviews of different stakeholders, from Executive Committee Members to first-time volunteers. As a whole, THE CAMPAIGN offers a portrait of committed individuals inside a pressure cooker, compelled by both circumstance and their passionate beliefs to go far beyond their everyday selves.
