Freeheld tells the true story of Laurel Hester (played by Julianne Moore), and her partner Stacie Andree (played by Ellen Page). When police lieutenant Laurel is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she begins the long battle to have her pension benefits go to Stacie. It was a groundbreaking case for same-sex couples, and the movie is very touching.
