Loving

1958. Having grown up in the racially integrated rural community of Central Point in Caroline County, Virginia, it surrounded by the largely segregated American south, Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter, a white bricklayer and black woman respectively, fall in love and get married in a civil ceremony in the District of Columbia. However, such a union is not only not recognized, but interracial relationships are considered illegal by the Commonwealth of Virginia. County law enforcement and courts coming down hard on them - the initial plea bargained suspended sentence banning them from the state for twenty-five years - starts what ends up being their extended and very public legal battles at a national scope, with some risk to their own lives, to be able to live in loving peace in Caroline County in wanting to remain close to their family, which becomes all the more important to them as they begin a family of their own.
