When Gene Robinson was elected Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003, he made history as the first openly gay, non-celibate bishop in the Episcopal Church of America. His election ignited an international controversy with Anglican leaders warning of schisms within the church. An official report of the Anglican Communion directed the American church to refrain from consecrating future gay or lesbian bishops and to cease the practice of blessing same sex relationships. Love Free or Die begins in 2008, when Robinson was pointedly excluded from the Lambeth Conference in Great Britain by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and follows Robinson over the next three years as he advocates for the full inclusion of LGBT people in the life of the church. This film is both a personal portrait of a courageous individual and a larger exploration of the emotions involved when religious institutions confront the increasing legal and social acceptance of gay people.  AT
