In the Best Interests of the Children

Centering the plight of lesbian mothers and their children, “In the Best Interests of Children” examines the then-groundbreaking truth that children thrive in queer households. Chronicling the experiences of families mostly in the Bay Area, the short documentary works through the legal pitfalls and social biases that tear families apart. Interviews animate the tenderness at the heart of the fight in this award-winning documentary.
