The Supreme Court Case that Changed Gay Marriage in America

Filmmaker Donna Zaccaro and attorney Robbie Kaplan discuss the documentary To a More Perfect Union: U.S. v. Windsor.  The film chronicles the experiences of Edie Windsor and her attorney (Kaplan) and their lawsuit against the U.S. government.  Windsor had been forced to pay a huge estate tax bill upon the death of her spouse because the federal government denied federal benefits to same-sex couples.  Windsor decided to sue the United States government – and won.
