Dramatizing true life circumstances faced by 40,000 gay & lesbian Americans in a relationship with a foreign partner and forced to flee the U.S. in search of freedom in one of sixteen countries that support gay immigration. The film's no frills approach leaves its audience nowhere to hide and emotionally exposed within a deeply disturbing premise amplified by its reality based origins. (PRWeb Jul 3, 2007)

While straight Americans routinely sponsor foreign partners either legitimately, or sight unseen as "mail order brides," gay Americans and their foreign partners are forced to live as felons no matter how many years their relationship spans. Such is the plight for Nicole and Amy in last year's politically charged gay immigration film, Maple Palm, which sneaks across the border from theaters to home video when it's released on DVD Tuesday, July 3.

Set in California's idyllic Marina del Rey, the film's dramatic subject matter exposes the one arena in which gay relationships are a felony, and in the process, challenges our stereotypes of what it means to be an immigrant, and an American.
