Love Wins

Love Wins tells the story of two women, Jan (83) and Emily (89), who met and fell in love during a time when doing so was strictly taboo. During this time, they raised a family while living completely in the closet. After 45 years of living a double life, Jan and Em finally got married and are now community activists and proud flag-waving members of the social movement that changed history.
