A film about the irrationality of common sexual prejudices and traditional sex laws, Freedom to Love advances the point of view that sexual freedom is not inimical to the interests of society. The film suggests, in fact, that official and unofficial suppression of sexuality and the resultant sexual frustrations are actually a contributing factor in social ills, such as juvenile delinquency, crime, family breakdown, and divorce. Freedom to Love makes a strong and impassioned plea for a more open-minded and tolerant attitude toward sex and ultimately for greater personal happiness and a healthier society.

No one under 18 will be admitted to this screening.
