Bridegroom Documentary To Get Its World TV Premiere On OWN

The acclaimed documentary Bridegroom is to get its world television premiere on Oprah Winfrey’s cable channel OWN.

One of the darling’s of this year’s film festival circuit, the Bridegroom documentary movie tells the story of a loving gay couple who were torn apart by tragedy and the lack of equal legal rights.

The upcoming television premiere of the Bridegroom documentary on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network will give a closer look at the tragic story of Shane Bitney Crone and Thomas Lee Bridegroom, a committed gay couple living in California.

Shane and Tom started a business, bought a home, traveled the world and adopted a dog together. Although they weren’t legally allowed to marry, they planned to do so one day. Unfortunately, they were never able to, because Tom died after accidentally falling off a roof in 2011.

Tom’s family prevented Shane from going to the funeral because Shane had no legal rights. On the one-year anniversary of Tom’s death, Shane posted an emotional video which went viral, bringing the couples tragic story to the attention of the world.

Former US President Bill Clinton has commented on the upcoming film saying…

“This is really, on one level, a wonderful, sad, heartbreaking yet exhilarating and life affirming story, and on another level, it’s a story about our nation’s struggle to make one more step in forming a more perfect union, for which marriage is both the symbol and substance.”

What ‘Bridegroom’ celebrates is not simply gay rights; it’s the human spirit. Watch the trailer of the upcoming documentary movie here…
