To a More Perfect Union offers an intimate look at Edie Windsor as a gay rights pioneer, and its correlation with the Stonewall Riots, the AIDS crisis, the Defense of Marriage Act and other staples of LGBTQ history. She was an American LGBTQ rights activist and a technology manager at IBM. After the death of her (legally recognized only in Canada) wife, Thea Spyer, Windsor found herself inundated with problems. As the executor and sole beneficiary of Spyer's estate via a revocable trust, Windsor was required to pay $363,053 in federal estate taxes on the inheritance of her wife's estate.

Geraldine Ferraro: Paving the Way - An inspiring film about Geraldine Ferraro's historic Vice-Presidential nomination, and the first full profile of the trailblazing woman who helped change the face of American politics forever.
