"I could still feel the raw emotion...all that stuff never went away. I am still so angry, I could
spit," says Donna Red Wing (right, with fellow activist Kathleen Saadat).
“One of the great things is that it reached the
international community and even played in South
Korea,” notes MacDonald. “Oregonians can be
very proud—even though pained that they had to
go through the campaign—that what they did has
given hope and inspiration to so many people
around the world.”
The DVD also features the bonus segment
“9 Remeasured: Update Documentary,” in which
activists Seibert, Kathleen Saadat, Donna Red
Wing and others express a remarkable sense of
hope for the future and an appreciation of the
countless people who did whatever they could to
defeat Measure 9. They also discuss what it was like
to watch the movie again and relive those
moments. A common theme is that they can still
feel the pain but that they do not regret their expe
rience of going through it.
“I could still feel the raw emotion...all that stuff
never went away. I am still so angry, I could spit,”
Red Wing says.
They are hurt not only from the ugliness of the
campaign itself but also from the division within the
gay community about how to defeat the measure.
“What Donna and Kathleen talk about very clearly
in the update documentary is that there is one way
to win a campaign, and then there is another way tb
build community and win a campaign, and that they
are at odds with each other,” notes MacDonald.
When she gathered Red Wing and Saadat to
view the film and make comments for the DVD,
they sat in total silence as they fell completely into
the film. It was that emotional for them. It took
a while before they could step back and start
recording their thoughts.
When MacDonald watched the movie for the
first time after so many years, she said she cried
especially when she saw footage of the Walk for
Love and Justice, which extended from Eugene to
Portland. When the group entered the Rose City and
a huge crowd greeted them, “It made me cry to think
how long and how hard people had worked.’
