What inspires everyday people to opt in for something larger than themselves? THE CAMPAIGN follows California's historic No-on-8 campaign to defend same-sex marriage through behind the scenes footage, interwoven with the national history of same-sex relationship recognition since the 1950s.

THE CAMPAIGN positions the efforts of five activists who - from their distinct perspectives - labor tirelessly to defend their dignity within the context of historically shifting legal and political landscapes, from Anita Bryant’s “Save our Children,” to Pat Buchanan’s declaration of a “culture war,” and finally to the wave of marriage bans that swept 41 states across the nation. Featuring music from the Kronos Quartet.
