Award Winning Documentary “How Love Won” Debuts On Seed & Spark

How Love Won: The Fight for Marriage Equality in Minnesota is now available globally on the Seed & Spark streaming service. The award-winning film, which traces the unlikely victories for same-sex marriage supporters in Minnesota, was produced by Michael McIntee and The UpTake.

How Love Won is an inside look at how LGBTQ activists in Minnesota won over people on a very divisive issue: gay marriage. How Love Won has become the playbook for how to actually talk about tough political issues. At the core of the movie are conversations people had about gay marriage — conversations that enable understanding and disarm hate. The film documents how Minnesota was a historic tipping point in the fight for marriage equality.

How Love Won has received standing ovations from audiences and high praise from critics.

“I’m incredibly excited for our film to be distributed on Seed & Spark,” said McIntee. “The film had sold-out performances during its limited run. This will give many more the opportunity to share in the joy of watching the arc of the universe bend toward justice and seeing love triumph.”
