The Year of Paper

North Carolina premiere When officials began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004, this country went to war over a word. How different is a gay marriage from a heterosexual one? This documentary chronicles the newlywed year of three couples—lesbian, heterosexual and gay—and explores both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.
