A Time To Ride documents the cross-country bicycle ride and marriage equality awareness campaign of married lesbian grandmothers Elisia and Carrie Ross-Stone, also known as the Rainbow Grannies. Their journey begins on May 2 as they ride from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park 3,100 miles, to arrive in New York City on July 10. In cities all over the country they hold press conferences and rallies, meet with local elected officials and speak to gay and lesbian organizations.

A Time To Ride captures the Grannies’ courageous effort, who continue despite death threats, exhaustion, injuries and homesickness - there’s a lot of drama in 3,100 miles! Viewers meet families along the Ride’s route whose lives have been negatively impacted by a lack of civil marriage rights, families who want to be protected, together, and safe. News and archival footage are interwoven, providing context and illustrating why public figures supporting discriminatory legislation must be removed from office.

The Grannies, Elisia and Carrie Ross-Stone and director Keith Wilson will attend the screening.
