  • Long Description
    Compared To What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank shows the damning effect of living in the closet, the freedom of li...ving free, the triumph of love and the steady,
    strong power that comes from being true to oneself. This documentary alternates between deeply personal moments and the inner workings of our political process. Rare archival material and interviews reveal the emotional pain and harmful effects of a closeted life, the relief of coming out and the triumph of love through the Congressman's historic same-sex marriage. Frank's journey is our country's journey, a classic American story about a dedicated public servant who never loses hope.
