Our take
Shot at Pride events in 1977, this essential film of the gay rights movement is showcased in a new 2K restoration. Against the backdrop of Harvey Milk and Anita Bryant, director Arthur J. Bressan Jr. draws out allegiant and hostile voices, making it an optimistic, yet angry collective portrait.
