Gil Caldwell, an 80-year-old black, straight retired preacher and civil rights leader, and Marilyn Bennett, a 52-year-old white lesbian activist and author.

The LGBTQ Equality movement is often called the new civil rights movement, but how true is that claim? Are the two movements similar, or are they fundamentally different? Do they have the same goals? Why are they often in conflict with one another? A new documentary, "From Selma to Stonewall," explores these questions through the journey of two unlikely friends – Gil Caldwell, an 80-year-old black, straight retired preacher and civil rights leader, and Marilyn Bennet, a 52-year-old white lesbian activist and author.

Together the two visit important landmarks for both movements, such as Selma, Alabama – where Caldwell marched with Martin Luther King along with thousands of others – and the Stonewall Inn in New York City, a gay bar and the site of the historical 1969 Stonewall riots that is often referred to as the trigger for the LGBT liberation movement. The film documents Caldwell and Bennett's interviews with people at each of these landmarks, asking them about the intersection of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion as well as where the civil rights and LGBTQ equality movements might find common ground. These interviews and stories were gathered from a wide range of people from civil rights and Stonewall veterans, activists of all stripes, people on the street, religious leaders, to scholars.
