Julianne Moore and Zach Galifianakis sign up for indie drama Freeheld

The film chronicles the true story of the late Laurel Hester (Moore), a New Jersey police detective whose world was shattered when she became terminally ill and government officials prevented her from assigning her pension benefits to her domestic partner, Stacie Andree (Page).

Laurel’s conservative detective partner Dane Wells was shocked when he learned of her sexual orientation, but he became the leader in the fight for the same-sex couple’s rights.

Galifianakis is onboard to play Garden State Equality activist Steven Goldstein.
