Film Description
On June 28th, 1969, patrons at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village rioted in response to an attempted raid by police. The bar, notorious for its homosexual patrons, became a symbol of the gay rights movement that was sparked just after the event. Before Stonewall focuses on the gay community before this turning point, a time during which homosexuals were forced to live their lives in silence. The documentary uses a mixture of movie clips, archival footage, and individual interviews, highlighting secret tactics like the Handkerchief Code and publications such as One Magazine and The Ladder.
