HEARTLAND TRANSPORT AT B'NAI EL



Join Scott Emanuel and Ed Reggi this Friday January 14, 2011 as they screen, and discuss, their award winning documentary short at B'nai El Congregation located in Frontenac, Missouri. Services will start around 7:30pm, with a musical tribute to Debbie Friedman. The movie and discussion are scheduled for sometime after 8pm.

Heartland Transport is winning the hearts of audiences all over the United States. This short documentary tells the story of 17 same-sex couples who obtain their marriage licenses in Iowa.

On April 3, 2009, the Iowa Supreme court unanimously upheld the ruling holding that there was no governmental interest in denying citizens marriage licenses based on their sexual orientation.

Immediately following, Ed Reggi and Scott Emanuel chartered a bus taking seventeen same sex couples from St. Louis, Missouri to Iowa City, Iowa to be legally married.
