CGiii Comment
Hear Me Roar tells the story of Elizabeth Bellinger, who embarked on a legal fight against the British government over her marriage.
Elizabeth tied the knot with Michael Bellinger in 1981 and kept their union a secret from almost everyone until 1998 when she launched a campaign to have the marriage legally recognised.
The film begins with Elizabeth meeting lawyer Ashley Bayston, who co-wrote the film with Lisa McMullin, and follows their lengthy and complicated legal case, which would change the lives of LGBTQ+ people in the U.K.
