The Day That Changed My Life - Compelling Circumstances
In 1994, immigration officer Mark Watson was sentenced to six months in prison after he stamped a passport to allow his Brazilian boyfriend to remain in the UK illegally. His case was supported by the lobbying group Stonewall and led to a change in Home Office policy that would become the first act of legislation to recognise homosexual relationships as equal to heterosexual ones. In this documentary, Watson talks about the day he was arrested and how it changed his life.
