New York City's Stonewall Inn is regarded by many as the site of gay and lesbian liberation since it was at this bar that drag queens fought back against police June 27-28, 1969. This documentary uses extensive archival film, movie clips and personal recollections to construct an audiovisual history of the gay community before the Stonewall riots. (imdb)

Seems interested in both conveying valuable information &, like much activism, making gays feel good about themselves at the time. So we get some interviewees asserting some highly improbable things like 50% of everyone is gay & a WW2 WAC battalion was 80% lesbian. Despite this, the rest is important & illuminating as it offers a picture of the various ways some extremely brave gays started to fight back in a society that genuinely & generally viewed them with contempt w/ laws meant to oppress.

Em honra do Pride Day. Doc MUITO bom, não que eu seja perita no assunto, mas eu não sabia da raiz homofóbica do macartismo, me iluminou em diversos pontos sobre a America gay. No Youtube ( https://youtu.be/FYddtKw3NlY )

"This is a documentary that can tell the sometimes bitter truth and still conclude with an unambiguously heartening flourish." - Eric Henderson
