Stonewall: The Movement
Stonewall: The Movement traces the arc of gay activism from the tumult of the late 1960s to the present, told through candid interviews with the people who lived it. The hour-long documentary gathers activists Harry Britt, George Raya, and Jim Willeford, alongside Assemblyman Tom Ammiano and former State Senator Carole Migden, joined by Sally Gearhart and Nancy Adair of Word Is Out, Jack Fritscher — former editor-in-chief of Drummer Magazine — and Felice Picano, considered one of the founders of the modern gay literary movement. The lineup extends further still: gay filmmaker Charles Roseberry; Felicia Elizondo, one of the original “Screaming Queens” of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot; and Miss Major, a transgender activist and survivor of both the Attica uprising and the Stonewall Riots. Rounding out the film, Stonewall witnesses Jim Lonergan, Ted Alden, and Jim McCormick join Drag Artist Rick Shelton, historian Ron Williams, and artist/activist G. Mark Mulleian to share firsthand accounts of the long march from Stonewall to marriage equality.
