Patrice: The Movie
Patrice Jetter is a disabled artist and crossing guard in her 50s fighting for the right to marry the man she loves - without losing the government benefits keeping them both alive. A story hiding in plain sight, inside a legal system most people never think about.
Patrice: The Movie is our award-winning documentary rom-com about the next frontier of marriage equality: disability. Told with playful re-enactments and Patrice's irresistible spirit, it's proof that the most urgent stories are often the most joyful ones to tell.
