## Description

Product Description               On May 7th, 2011 a young man named Shane Bitney Crone tragically lost the love of his life, Tom, to an accident. Because they weren't married or prepared for the unexpected, Shane lost all legal claim to Tom after he died. Tom's family banned Shane from the funeral and he was unable to say goodbye. On May 7th, 2012 Shane posted a video on YouTube, entitled "It Could Happen to You." He created it to honor his partner and show the world what can happen when two people are legally barred from having equal rights and equal protections under the law to marry. Shane's partner was named Tom Bridegroom. The video went viral, passing two million views within seven days.

    If you have a heart.
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2023*

It's unfortunate this is presented as a "gay" title.  This is about the power of love and unfathomable hate.  Absolutely a "must see".... watch it.  You'll learn the shameful depths of hatred and blatant ignorance.  But also the beauty of true love. Without question, I'll watch it again!  From the book of Samuel:  For the Lord sees not as man sees.  For man looks at the outward appearance and the Lord looks upon the heart (not perfect quote).  But you can get my point.  A lesson for the unknowing.  I was truely moved.  Powerful!

    Amazing, see this movie!
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013*

Amazing, see this movie! [Spoiler Alert!] This is a love story of Tom Bridegroom and Shane Bitney Crone. Tom is fascinated with Shane's great-Grandma Pat's snake killing prowess. "I'm always after a snake, I don't want them around here." So goes the plot. And she kills forty in a season - impressive. Revered Grandma Pat is the matriarch of this clan and she's one tough old bird. "My mind is gone," she laments, but clearly, her strength of character is intact.  She declares of Shane and Toms' relationship, "It's Romeo and Romeo, get over it." Like Grandma Pat before him, Shane is called on to confront a bunch of snakes, first at Flathead High School (you can't make this stuff up), and again, almost a decade later in Knox, Indiana, with the likes of Tom's mom and dad. In the first encounter, Shane is too young and inexperienced to defend himself from these vipers and his soul and spirit are ruthlessly torn apart in collective acts of unimaginable cruelty, by high school classmates, parents, and a high school principal. He contemplates suicide - all this the consequence of a love note sent to a school-boy crush. But he survives, is patched back together by his loving mother and sisters, and at 18 he sets off for Hollywood. The family is afraid, but they have to let him go. Shane, the shy and unsophisticated high-school grad finds Tom, the Hollywood groomed, incredibly talented and popular, Culver Military/Vassar educated, too-handsome guy. It's not so surprising that they fall in love, hormones work that way, but the terms of the relationship are eye-opening. Tom positively thrives on Shane's emotional depth, no doubt a familial legacy of Grandma Pat. Shane finds in Tom his knight in shining armor, his protector, his first true love - his everything. Then tragedy. As if the camera lens connects him to the spirit world, Shane pleads with Tom, "Is this really happening?" It is. And it hurts.  A lot.The most satisfying moment is the second time Shane confronts the snakes. It's Tom's family this time, an emotionally challenged clan that substitutes homophobic Bible verses for family values. The Bridegroom's attempt to sanitize their son Tom's legacy of any mention of the couple's six years together, to deny Shane any hint of consolation or compassion, colossal acts of cruelty and deceit. Unlike the Flathead disaster, and despite incredible odds, Shane is no longer a boy incapable of defending himself, and he has learned well the lessons of his elders. Most importantly, Tom has infused in Shane everything that he was - Shane is a force to be reckoned with. Even in the depths of despair, he plots his strategy with great skill, then engages battle on the first anniversary of Tom's death - defining the terms of engagement in his YouTube video, "It Could Happen to You." And it goes viral. And it is amplified in this documentary. Shane overwhelms the incredibly mean spirited snakes in Tom's family, yet in victory he is not hateful, even if the vanquished feel the sting of his victory. Nevertheless, all that remains is Tom's memory - enough perhaps to make Shane's life bearable, but that's all there is. And it still hurts. As a postscript, Flathead has not seen the last of Shane, he's scheduled speaking engagements there this November. Don't you wonder what the snakes think?

    This should truly be "must see TV"
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2013*

This movie is this generation's "Brian's Song" — a guaranteed tear-jerker. The story is so tragic and underscores why granting the right to marry to everyone above the age of consent is so important. To be in love with and committed to another person is deeply fulfilling but, if tragedy should strike (as it did in this instance), means absolutely nothing in the eyes of the law. It is truly sad that Tom's family felt and acted the way they did but the law says they were completely permitted to do so. Anyone watching this movie cannot help but see the love that Shane and Tom shared and the wrenching grief Shane felt at Tom's death. To then have Tom's family try to shut him out and act as if he had never been a part of Tom's life is almost beyond comprehension. Shane proved himself a man of honor and principles by trying to respect the family's feelings even though they had disregarded his. I think he really displayed that whole "turn the other cheek" thing.The movie is beautifully done and, hopefully, should be nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary. And it *is* a documentary — none of it is made up. This is the reality faced when two people (no matter what gender combination) are forbidden to marry. I hope as many people as possible see this movie — especially those that don't understand why marriage equality is so important. I can see no valid reason why the law cannot be applied equally to any two people who wish to marry. I believe that marriage equality is coming but it can't happen too quickly for other couples like Shane and Tom. Unfortunately, their story is far from unique. This kind of emotional agony is experienced every day by people whose only "mistake" was to fall in love with someone who comes from a family that cannot or will not understand.
