what people are saying
"An outstanding educational video about the marriage equality movement..iIt is a great stimulation for discussion."
- Jean Giles-Sims, Professor of Sociology, Texas Christian Univ.
"A vastly more complex and contemplative film than the intergalactic girl-on-girl sexcapade I would expect with such a title."
- DallasObserver
"You are forced to reconsider tired-old stereotypes about what a lesbian couple looks like, how they act and what they do."
- Bay Area Reporter
synopsis
It's an out-of-this-world story about a down-to-earth lesbian couple who got on their bicycles and rode 3,800 miles across America to rally support for same-sex marriage. From San Francisco to New York City, Elisia and Carrie Ross-Stone -- two lesbian grandmothers (from Mars Pennsylvania!) ride across mountain ranges, through deserts and across prairies, as they struggle through the mud-slinging of election year politics, hateful protests and even death threats to show America that they're not alien life forms.
