Loving

The feature film "Loving" is set in the 1950s and tells the moving story of Richard and Mildred, who, despite societal norms and racial discrimination in Virginia, feel a deep love for each other. Their relationship is not accepted by society, as Mildred's skin color makes a marriage between them impossible. To officially seal their love, they travel to Washington DC, where they get married. But after returning to their home, they are confronted with hostility and legal consequences. The police arrest them and force them to choose between a separated life in Virginia or a life together far from their home. "Loving" is a powerful film about the struggle for the recognition of their marriage and the fundamental human rights that are taken for granted today.
