Flowers from the Heartland

Description

On February 12th, 2004 the City and County of San Francisco began issuing marriage
licenses to same sex couples.

Just days after the first wedding was performed, the flowers started arriving. Flowers
sent from the very heart of America, the Midwest. Flowers sent with love and support
and addressed simply "To Any Loving Couple".

Experience again the joy of that one magical month when over 4000 gay and lesbian
couples were united in matrimony, and meet some of the people from the Heartland
who together with thousands of others across this country and around the world sent
Flowers from the Heartland.

"The power of the documentary is its understated imagery of the importance 
				
  of love and commitment, not gender, as the basis for a meaningful marriage."
