Each month, September through June, this series features free screenings of powerful documentary films that address current issues by filmmakers who push the boundaries.

LOVE FREE OR DIE by Macky Alston
Tuesday, June 4, 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, June 5, 12:00 p.m.
Love Free or Die is about a man whose two defining passions the world cannot reconcile: his love for God and for his partner Mark. The film is about church and state, love and marriage, faith and identity — and openly gay Bishop Eugene Robinson's struggle to dispel the notion that God’s love has limits.
