Summary
BALLOT MEASURE 9 is the chilling true story of the unprecedented violence unleashed by an anti-gay campaign in Oregon, when activists slept with guns under their beds and had full-time police protection. Winner of the Sundance Audience-Award, this film offers terrifying inside views of the struggle. Inflammatory rhetoric led to a surge in anti-gay harassment, physical attacks and even murder. BALLOT MEASURE 9 ducks behind the headlines to bare the passions and strategies that drove both sides.
