On Monday, Oct 3rd at 6:30pm at Proctors’ GE Theatre, WMHT presents a free screening and discussion of Rooted Out, a film by Julie Casper Roth.

Rooted Out follows the experience of two men denied a marriage license in their hometown of Root, NY. The film documents the town’s attempts to erase the incident from public record. Over the course of a year, the couple’s supporters fight for justice and an accurate narrative of events.

Following the screening, WMHT’s Dan Clark moderates a discussion with Julie Casper Roth, film participants, and an expert on public policy related to LGBTQIA+ rights.

Support for this event comes from The Ernest Otho Reaugh Advised Fund for LGBTQIA+ Advocacy of the Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region.
